My Little Theologian?

Xavier was trying to sing the song John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt the other day. I never heard that song until I was a grown up but people assure me it's very popular with children. There's a scene in a movie we watched recently where they show kids singing it for a few seconds so I guess that's where he was introduced to it. He couldn't remember the words apparently because he was walking around singing "John Piper Jambalaya Smith".

Last night I asked him to pick a book for us to read together. He chose a book about George Muller - not what I expected. After reading a bit I asked him why he had chosen that one, and with such enthusiasm. He replied, "Cause that guy has really cool hair!"

You'll have to email John Piper and tell him that one! ...and Xavier's really into *hair* isn't he! I'm curious to see what his mommy will let him go for next haircut! :)

Mine doesn't have the guy with the cool hair on the front, but I'm reading an autobiography about George Mueller too! I love little kid philosophy. When I was 3 years old my great-aunt and uncle and my mom took me to a furniture store and had me pick out the bed that I now own. How did I choose? There was a stuffed animal type strawberry sitting on the bed in the picture that I was shown. Apparently I really liked strawberries, because I was never too wild about stuffed animals!
