Ben was really enjoying the Easter stories we read to him this year out of various books, so we read them to him a lot. Not suprisingly, this led to him quoting them in random places.
A couple of weeks ago, he was playing with his toy boats in the bathtub, when I hear him talking about Mary's encounter with Jesus in the garden after she found the empty tomb. Then without skipping a beat he said, "This boat has a big motor! VROOOM!"
Then, just a couple of nights ago, he was reading his Noah's Ark bath book in the bathtub. We was relating the part where Noah builds an ark out of wood. Then he says to whoever he was reading the story to in the first place (I didn't ask), and says, "Jesus died on a cross made of wood, for the forgiveness of our sins."
I love that he's just taken this story in as part of his general knowledge. It's so exciting to see him grasping bits and pieces of these things and be reminded of the stories by other things. This is one of the joys of being a parent that makes all the frustrations and heartache worthwhile. I love being a Dad.
