Madeleine got out her Little People nativity set today. Grandma Phyllis also got her a nativity scene with finger puppets on Thanksgiving, so Madeleine has been talking about Jesus and asking lots of questions. Later in the day today Madeleine ran up to me and said, "Jesus was born with all the animals".
"Yes", I replied, "in the manger, where the animals slept".
Then, she asked, "Was Noah there?"
"Noah?", I inquired.
"There were animals with Noah in the boat and animals with Jesus."
"Ahh, maybe Noah was there Madeleine, I don't know!"
I love how the mind of a three year old puts things together!
This space once chronicled life with children and our Dallas adventures. Now the kids are grown, and I’m still adventuring — traveling, thinking, and writing — as I learn to trade social media scrolling for slower reflections.
