Jots by Tots

Rock Steady asked me a food for thought kinda question last night: 

Will God ever stop making people?


Great question, buddy!  He keeps my wheels turning.

What immediately came to my mind after his question was how incredibly thankful I am that God did create my three little figlets!  In fact, here's an example of the joy they bring to my life: Princess has become quite keen on dressing up Fish Fry.  Not to mention, Fish Fry is more than alright with his big sissy doting on him!


Check out the chic wardrobes those two are sporting!

Rock Steady

Rock SteadyOur five year old son is an all-around rock steady fella!  He is an amazing builder with any block he can get his hands on!  No matter what toys he has available he always ends up building something.  In fact,even his questions are well designed construction.  Just today he asked a series of questions that were in a logical sequence of order (he would ask a question and before I could hardly finish answering his question, he would ask the next question):

How do you make wood?

We get wood from trees and God made the trees

How does God make trees?

He made the seed that is nourished by the soil, water, and sun that grow helps grow the seed into a tree.

How did God make the sun?

Well, I was not there when He made the sun, but I am sure it was easy for Him because He is so big.

How do we know God made the sun if God made it before people were on earth?

Um, well, He probably told Adam and Moses and other people who wrote the Bible and He probably told them what happened before He created Man.

How did God make Himself?

Uhhh, umm, well, ummm, ya see, God is the Beginning, the Middle, and the End.  He is forever.  He didn't have to make Himself because He has always been, always is, and always will be.  If He wasn't like that, then He wouldn't be God.

***********
You think maybe I should have to just stopped while I was a head and said "I don't know" on a few of those questions?  Ha!

Well, there you have it!  Rock Steady!  I love him like crazy!

Journals & Writing

We have started a Nature Journal in which Rock Steady has been inspired to write!  It's so exciting to see him attempt to sound out words and express his thoughts!  We brought our Nature Journals to the creek and noted our observations.  We found flowers, rocks, leaves, a broken tree house, a new trail.  The forrest has endless adventures just waiting to be discovered.  What a joy to grow with my younguns!
