He’s been very inquisitive (what’s new?) about life and death lately – especially as they pertain to God and Heaven. During this last installment of The Bible, even though he seemed busily distracted with play in the other room, he managed to pick up some very key concepts. He does that you know – he absorbs details you didn’t even know he was paying attention to. He particularly picked up on Heaven being paradise, and paradise being Heaven. And so, paradise is his new word.
He was playing with his cousins the other day, as cousins do. You know that “pretend I’m the mom and you’re my kid and…” type of play? I heard them all agree that they wanted to play something else – to which I heard D’Lo respond:
“Ok! Ok! Pretend I’m a man and I’m going to paradise, but I’m going to be gone a very long time soooo….I need to go pack!”
