Anatomy Lesson

M: Mommy, why do we have all these bones (pointing to body)?

Me: Well, without your bones, your skin and organs would be a pile of mush on the floor. Bones give you structure. They help protect soft parts of your body.

M: Bones are really strong, especially this bone (pointing to chest).

Me: Yes, that's your sternum. It has to be strong to protect your lungs and your heart.

M: Yeah, the sternum is really strong to protect Jesus and all the people in there.

Me: All the people?

M: Yeah, Jesus lives in there and he needs to be kept safe. How does he live in there?

Me: His Holy Spirit lives in there, but it's pretty tough to explain so just know He's with you always...

lol. Utter cuteness.

WOW! Somebody has been working with her boys! That is PRECIOUS! P.S. I LOVE baby boy's face when he's walking- that is PURE JOY if I've ever seen it.

Haha...how cute. After a recent face-plant that knocked his breath away, our 4 yr-old nephew patted his chest and asked, "Jesus, are you ok??"
