A good lesson

Tonight as we were sitting around for family night (something we do every Monday night), we were talking about Jesus and how one of his names is the Good Shepherd. So to relate it to Nicholas, I said that we were all sheep (he loved saying baa) and that Jesus was our shepherd. He was so cute when he piped up and said "Cheerio's a sheep too." Of course, we can't forget Cheerio. I was just impressed that he thought to include Cheerio in the conversation. He's going to be a great older brother since he already tries to be a brother to Cheerio. Anyway, we worked with him on learning the other names Jesus goes by like Messiah and Holy One, and later on after his bath and books Mike was asking him about what we'd talked about earlier. While he didn't quite remember the Messiah and Holy One, he got the Good Shepherd with no help. So goes to show they pay attention more than we think (which can be kind of scary too). We're so glad to have such a sweet boy who reminds us to be more like Jesus every day.
