I was getting out of the shower this morning when I heard Joseph grumbling in the other room. I then heard him stomp down the hallway to the bathroom.
On our way home from school today, Joseph asked “Who made all these buildings?” I’m not sure I answered. So he said “I think God made them and all the cars and trees …” I said “Definitely the trees! But I think people made the buildings and God gave people the intelligence to know how to build buildings and cars.” Then Joseph said “God made the people and trees and lots of things. And he made me?” I said “Yeah! And he did a great job when he made you!” and he answered “Yeah! And he did a great job on my hat too!”
Tonight Jill and Joseph were making valentines for him to give out at school.
