Oh darlin' don't you ever grow up... #1

    My Alexander is a crazy, wild child that keeps busy 99.5% of time time. Every now and then he stops in his tracks to say something that either melts my heart or sends to the floor rolling in laughter. I often immediately share his sweet comments on facebook, but I thought it would be fun to share his little stories here also. That way I could have them all in one general area.  :)

   Today we started doing Valentines day crafts since V-day is next week. I had been searching some sites over the weekend and found an idea that would be perfect to teach Alexander about the heart. We made peanut butter men with cookie cutters and used candy hearts to show where the heart is located in the body. After we discussed where is his heart is, I went on to explain to him about how we are suppose to give our hearts to Jesus. The conversation went a little something like this.

Me: "Alexander, do you know who we are suppose to give our hearts to?

Alexander "No...who?"

Me "Jesus wants you to give your heart to him. He loves you so very much."

Alexander "But why?"

Me "Because he loves you and he wants you to open your heart to him and love him back. Jesus died for us remember?"

Alexander "Oh Momma, I do love Jesus. I want to hug him. Please! Please Momma! And I want to kiss him too!

Me: "Baby we can't hug him and kiss him..he is in heaven."

Alexander "But I want to!"

Me "We will be able to one day."

Alexander "But I want to now!"

Me: "Oh Alexander me too baby, me too. I want to hug and kiss Jesus right now too."


    I sat there staring at him in his innocence while he gobbled up his little sandwiches and reveled in what a grand opportunity it is to teach my baby about the love of Christ. So very thankful for my sweet boy! <3
