Our Wise Little Man

During Isaac's morning nap, Davis and I were out playing in the backyard.
.

We were just kinda splashing in the little pool without "really" getting wet when I asked him. "Davis, what do you want to be when you grow up?" To which he replied, "A wise man."
.
Davis was given a wonderful book called God's Wisdom for Little Boys which goes through character traits that are very important to have in his life. (and ours!)
.
This is the prayer at the end of the book which we pray with Davis:
.
Dear God above, for this I pray
To be a godly man someday.
Make me a man who loves You true,
A man of wisdom who pleases You.
.
Our 2 1/2 year old little man is such a joy, and is already so obedient and honoring to his parents and everyone that he meets. We know he IS growing up to be a wise man.
.
When asked this evening during a walk we took as a family, he replied the same. I'm so proud. :)

Dear Ellen,

I have been negligent over the last couple of weeks in checking your blog. So it has been fun catching up on your news.

I LOVE what Davis said about what he wants to be when he grows up. Oh, if only we all had the wisdom of your 2 1/2 year old!!

Tell Dan he did a great job on the bathroom! Aunt Francie
