Yesterday, Ben and I were playing at our neighbor's house and she had a Noah's Ark toy. After ascertaining that Noah's Ark carries animals, not pirates, Ben really wanted to hear the story. I told my version. During lunch, we found another version on the iPad and read it together. Ben continually asked, "What did God say?"
When we finished reading, Rosie had arrived to babysit. Ben wanted to read Noah's Ark again, but I had to take the iPad with me. Ben's solution: "Rosie should buy her OWN iPad so we can read Noah's Ark."
This morning, he was again asking about what God says, and what we say to God. When I dropped him off at pre-school (in a church), he wanted to know if it was God's house. We talked about churches, synagogues and mosques all being God's house. Thanks Ben for the great opening to talk about different religions, gratitude, and prayer.
He is also really into the "worker candle" in our Hanukkah book.
So much fun to be discussing big questions with Ben as we launch into an interfaith season of holiday celebrations.
Love,
Mama
