Magic!

Lately Josh has been talking about "magic" a lot. I think it stemms from a book was have called "My Mom is GREAT!" Which refers to a mom as magic because she can find things, and fix things, and other simple things. It's cute to see the things he describes as magic. There are so many- that I wish I were better about writing them all down- but a couple of my favorites:

1. Jesus is magic. And he's had a couple of reasons why. My favorite- because he put a baby in Mama's belly and knows when its time to help the baby come out.

2. The sun. He was telling me the other day that the sun follows him. "Really?" I asked. "Yes. See..." and he walked around glancing up at it as he moved "...its always there". Then said, "it's magic, huh?" I can't remember exactly how the conversation went from there- but I remember I was reminded of children's wisdom when he told me he thought Jesus was how the sun stayed so bright. "You're right Josh. Jesus is the light of the world. He is the one who gives the sun and all the world all its 'magic'."

3. Me! Whenever I find something,or make something, or at other random timse he'll exclaim, "Woa! You're just kinda magic, huh Mom!?" It may be a little self indulgent- but I'm glad he thinks so- and so I jus say, "I guess I kinda am."

4. Capes. Josh has yet to actually call them magic- but they're magic to me. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE seeing my two boys run and swoosh around in them. Dekker especially is so pleased with himself. He always has to have it centered on his shoulders and watches it swoosh behind him, or will turn around with his hands on his hips showing it off to others. It's super cute.

5. Babies. What miracles they are. I'm REALLY excited for a little girl!
