Yesterday Blake turned 3 1/2. I just can't believe how fast time is flying by. He is such a smart kind little boy who is thriving in preschool. He currently is in that stage where he asks questions about everything. The other night after reading our bible story Brent asked Blake if he would like to pray instead of Mommy or Daddy. Blake looked a little confused and said he didn't know what to say so I gave him a few lines. I then must have said something like "you can always talk to God about anything." Blake responds "Does God talk to us?" I said "yes He does". Blake asks, "How?" Brent and I looked at each other and just laughed. So I then tried to explain to my 3 1/2 yr old that God talks to us through the Bible and to our hearts which only led to more how and why questions. At this point, we decided to end the conversation for the night with a hug and kiss. Even though it can be annoying and time consuming, I am loving this age of questioning. I can see the wheels turning in his little head as he tries to process all this new information. I love being able to have a conversation with him and that he is asking Brent and me about these important things. I know this is only the beginning but I hope we can always provide a loving safe environment where Blake feels like he can ask us questions as honestly as he does now.
