Birds and Skeletons

My Lucas Boy

I had the awesome privilege of spending some one-on-one time with my Lucas Boy this afternoon. Our outing consisted of dropping off the co-op order at Kendra's, going to Bear Country Espresso and then on to Fischer's Market. While driving to Kendra's house, Lucas informed me of how mama birds feed their babies. He explained how the mama bird chews up the food and then sticks it in the baby bird's mouth. We conversed about it for a few minutes and concluded we were both very happy that we weren't birds. It doesn't sound very delicious to share A.B.C. food.

After Kendra's delivery was complete, we drove to the Bear Country Espresso. I owed a debt I had to pay...a long story. At the espresso, Lucas noticed a Halloween skeleton hanging from the building. He asked what it was and I explained it was a skeleton and it is what the bones look like inside our bodies. I explained the beauty of our skin, and once again we shared a moment of thankfulness. We were thankful for God's design of the skeleton and the wonderful covering he chose to give us. We had fun laughing at the thought of everyone going about their days with just a skeleton.

We eventually drove home, both of us glad we were able to spend some time together. It was awesome to be with only Lucas. It was wonderful to listen to him...to listen to the things he thinks about and to answer his curious questions. His mind is incredible.
