Pride goes before a fall

Yesterday I was listening to the boys talk as they were playing.

Kenan says, "God made us."

I interrupted their conversation to say that yes he was right. I couldn't help but feel proud that he was learning truths about God and was speaking of it. Proud of him, for sure, but I'll be honest, proud of me for teaching him that. But pride does go before the fall.

He then proceeded to tell Dawson, "Why did God make You?"

So much for that good parenting... :)

Dawson, however, is fully confident in himself and worth here. Today we were looking at our praying mantise that we caught and I mentioned that he looked like he was praying. I asked Dawson what he thought he was praying for. "I think he wants to be like us. I think he's praying for that."
