The other night Connor was saying his prayers and he said "Dear God, thank you for hinies and weenies. Otherwise, our tummies would really hurt!" I tried to contain myself and not laugh and he proceeded to thank God for everything he could think of "walls, bed, curtains, underwear, sun, moon". Every once and I while he would stop and ask "pillows, Mommy does God give us pillows?" I would respond with "God gives us everything" and he'd continue on! It is a difficult concept for him which I like because it means he is really thinking about it. Recently his Nana took him to Chic-fil-a and she said "Let's thank God for our lunch before we eat" and he said "Why, did God make these chicken nuggets?". I love that he challenges us so that we really can teach him. Later that day I explained that God created all animals including chickens and that God gave us farmers to take care of the chickens so that one day we could eat them for lunch. I may have need to tip toe around that a little more because he was a little bothered by the fact that he had eaten the farmer's chickens. He has since eaten Chic-fil-a so apparently it didn't bother him too bad but this time he did thank God for his chicken nuggets!
