This is where God died...says Callie

Callie tonight was amazing us! At one point she was walking a bottle down the hall for me to put a way, it was lotion. She turns to Joe & I as she was walking away and says "this is where God died"...Joe & I look at each other a little puzzled and say "what did you say?" "This is where God died" pointing t othe bottle where there is a cross on it...totally caught us off guard! She is so intuitive sometimes. Kids catch or see things that we as adults are SO oblivious to! "Yes, Callie, Jesus did die on a cross, just not that one" I finally responded to her. "ok" she says and walks off.

Then later Joe was putting her to bed and she was cracking him up with her questions. She started talking about heaven somehow (not that I know exactly because I'm writing what he wouldn't ;) so I'm trying to remember what he said). She asked how we get there, do we drive or walk. They continued talking and she asked how long we stay, and he replied forever. She said "but I will miss my fwiends, wike pam". Pam, my girlfriend who was over for dinner. she kept asking him all kinds of questions about heaven. It is so neat to see her mind spinning on these things. I love how at times everything is so simple to them. It's pretty black and white. Then at other times, not so much ;)

She also asked tonight "how the baby got in the belly". My other friend Jenny was over who is about 9 months pregnant. Callie was feeling the baby move around; it was really cute to watch how quiet and excited she was. She is SO animated! She had asked Jenny that question, to which she said "Hmmm...let's ask mommy this one" so Callie turns to me and asks how the baby got in there. I said "God put her in there" and she said "but HOW?"...oh boy, these ones are a little harder to answer ;)

My baby Callie is no longer a baby. She is becoming so inquisitive and insightful - I love it! Such a sweet, sweet girl!!
