Joshua is only a couple of weeks into kindergarten and we have encountered our first episode of having to correct mis-information relating to what he is being taught. Gary and I have had the public school/Christian school discussion many times. Anyway...
For science class, they are learning about plants and that some animals eat plants. Humans also eat certain plants. And that humans are animals. What?? Please don't put me in the same category as my dogs.
So anyway, here is the conversation Gary and I had with Joshua regarding his education tonight:
Gary and I (us): Joshua, if there is anything you learn at school that doesn't make sense to you, please come home and ask us about it.
Joshua: Like what?
Us: Did you learn about plants and animals at school?
Joshua: Yes, animals eat plants and so do we. Humans are animals.
Us: No Joshua, humans are not animals
Joshua: Yes we are
Us: No, we are not
Joshua: (very emphatically) YES WE ARE DADDY, JESUS IS THE SHEPHERD AND WE ARE HIS SHEEP. Sheep are animals.
Us: (speechless). OK, Joshua, you are absolutely correct
These dogs...

Oh, Tiffany...
That is great - what a precious story ♥
I love seeing what you guys have been up too! Doesn't seem like too many dull moments for you!
I absolutely adore the picture (a couple weeks ago) of the boys fishing together - looks like it should be on a greeting card. You both have a great knack for capturing these special moments and events in your family's life.
Keep up the good work! We love it!!
