Lili and I get precious time together often on Sunday nights.
We walk home from our neighbor's house where she and 8 other kids get babysat while we have small group at our house.
I get the privilege of hearing her explain her evening in all it's 2-year-old vocabulary glory while she marches down the street with her backpack on...it's the cutest thing you've ever seen.
Tonight as we were walking, the moon was starting to come out and she noticed...The following is the conversation we had about it:
Lili: "Mommy! The moon is awake!"
Me: "That's right! Hi moon!"
Lili:"Da moon is helping us to walk to my house, Mommy"
Me: "Ok. Thanks moon!"
Lili:"Keep helping us walk to my house Moon. The Daddy Moon."
Me: "The Daddy Moon?"
Lili: "Yeah. The Daddy moon is helping us walk home. Mommy, when the moon comes down and goes under, you will be a moon and I will be a moon in the sky."
Me: "What do you mean? What?"
Lili: "When it comes down and goes under"
I know it's naturalistic and probably pantheistic, but could this be a taste of Heaven from my sweet baby's mouth? To my knowledge, no one has told her ANY stories about the moon...maybe a picture of what Heaven looks like to a two-year-old. I don't know. But really, neither do you. :)
Good night Daddy Moon.

Every day T's vocabulary grows and every day I get closer and closer and more and more excited about having these types of conversations.
"Ahhhh choo. Ah choo!"
