The "Someday" of a 4 Year Old

Many days as we are out driving, Colin likes to tell me things for his "inner most thoughts." I guess he's all strapped in without much else to do!

Lately he likes to tell us about, "Someday when I am big" types of things. Today he was "pontificating" on his future as a Daddy. Makes me smile thinking about it:

"Mommy, someday I will be a Daddy."

"Probably so. What kind of Daddy will you be like?"

"I'll teach my kids things, we'll decorate (like for holidays), I'll help them make things, and I'll teach them about Jesus."

"Oh, yes, that's an important job to teach them about Jesus."

"Yes."

"So how many kids will you have?"

"Hmm. Two."

Later he told me they would be three years apart.

You can see how important holidays and special occasions are to our lil' guy. He still talks about our 4th of July as our "America Party" since it was America's birthday we celebrated with streamers and balloons.
