John just turned 5 on Dec 1st, but all of a sudden seems so grown up. First of all, let me tell you about his dream. Every night when I tuck him in, I pray that the Lord would reveal himself to him in his dreams. John has always said that he has never had a dream. Wednesday morning, I woke up to hear him laughing out loud in his bed. I asked him why he was laughing and he said, "I had a funny dream!"
"What was your dream John? What happened?" I asked.
"I dreamed I was climbing on a big rock and everytime I climbed up, the rock asked me, 'Do you love me?' "
"John! did you know that one of the names for Jesus is The Rock? I think that the rock in your dream was Jesus and he was asking you if you love him! That's really neat!" I exclaimed.
"No-o-o!" John said while laughing, "It was the Robots video game!"
Arrrgh! I HATE video games!
Then, later that same day we were on our way home from the dentist, following the snow plow. It was spreading sand and salt on our road. Hannah asked what he was doing and I told her that the sand helps you not to slip and the salt melts the snow and ice. When we got home and were getting out of the van, I noticed John crying in the backseat. I asked him why he was crying and he replied, "The snow! I can't go sledding anymore!"
He thought that the snow plow's sand and salt would make ALL of the snow go away! Too cute. He was very relieved when he learned the truth.

I love that little glimpse into the very literal mind of a child. I remember truly believing that I didn't have a name, (and neither did my mom) because everyone called her and me the same thing. I remember telling someone who asked what my mom's name was that my mother didn't have a name. But I still think the rock was Jesus! Maybe he's even Jesus in the robot game.
