last week, they were talking alot about Easter at her preschool. she came home one day and said to me, "the stone was a tomb." now, i don't know what kind of church experience you had growing up, but i know mine was a lot different from what emma experiences at our church (www.northpoint.org) now. i do remember reading about noah and his ark, and we sang a song about a man in a tree, but i don't remember talking about the things that Emma talks about ... at least not when i was three.
on Easter sunday, emma went to church with tom and nana. they walked through the auditorium and emma noticed the crosses on the stage. she looked up at tom and said "Jesus was on the cross, but he isn't now."
and yesterday, she drew this picture and told my mom, "this is the cross and this is Jesus on the cross."
ok, maybe i'm just naive or biased ... maybe all or lots of three-year-olds talk like this. either way, i still believe that we are given these little moments as gifts ... the simplicity of child-like faith.
our very cold Easter weekend also included a little visit from the Easter bunny (or Easter Bun Bun as emma calls him) and an egg hunt at our community club house.
