Preston's Knowledge

We had a small family home evening lesson yesterday while taking a walk. We learned about the Creation. To start the lesson, Daddy asked, "What is this?" (holding up a picture). Preston answered "the world." Correct!

Then Daddy asked "Do you know who created the world?"
"Jesus... and he made the sidewalk and the street and the clouds way up high."
Right again! Then we talked about how He created the world for us and how we came here from Heaven. Daddy asked, "Do you know why we had to come to earth?"
"Because Jesus Christ told us to come to earth and so we come to the earth."
I thought that was pretty astute! We explained to him the other reasons as well.

He really grasps things so well and analyzes them. He asks questions all the time until he knows the reasons for everything. When driving in the car he often asks "Why are you going fast?" I tell him it is the speed limit. Then he'll ask, "why can you not go faster?" I say that would be breaking the speed limit. He sometimes says, "ooohh!" like he understands everything and sometimes says, "Then we would not be safe... if we go faster we aren't safe, is that why mommy?" It is really hilarious when he makes up his own reasons for things, because sometimes they don't apply at all. Sometimes his reasons for having to eat lunch or something simple like that are "because Woody still has an owner" or "Not today Zurg" or "because 'there's something alive in here' that might get us." He is always talking and I wish that I could attach his mouth to the keyboard because that is the only way I would ever get to remember half of what he says.
