So, tonight I was putting the kids to bed. We read a story, and then I ask the kids what they are thankful for and if there's anything they want to ask God for help with, and then we say our bedtime prayers. Usually, they say things like "I'm thankful for Mommy and Daddy, or Jesus, or my pink blankie." When it was my turn I said I was thankful that God created my children healthy and whole, with all their bones and muscles working, and everything inside them working right. Apparently this statement set off a huge waterfall of deep thoughts by Alex. "Mommy, before there were people, did God create some Mommies and Daddies and then they had babies? Do all babies look exactly the same when they are born? Mommy, next time you have a baby I want to be there. I really wanted to be there when Bridgette was born."
Whew. So all in one conversation, we've touched on creationism/evolution, the different kinds of people in the world, and watching babies be born. Someday, I really do look forward to explaining all of these things! I don't know how I escaped that but all I can tell you is he's now sleeping and life is good.
