One of my favorite parenting moments happened in the summer. We had a dear friends 10 year old son over and I was asking him what his favorite thing was. I kind of meant like toys or hobbies, but he answered "I'm going to have to say...Christianity."
As I was still lost in the sweetness of the moment, my little Jack asked, "Christianity? What's that?" Then shrugging said "Never heard of it." I had to laugh.
But the little guy redeemed himself at school yesterday. Mind you, my kids go to public school. A little school we love. As I was walking into the school to volunteer Jack's class was out for recess. His sweet teacher called me over to relay an interaction they had just had.
She told the class that after recess they would be getting ready to go to the school Chorus Concert. I think one of the kids asked what it was going to be about. And my Jackie said "Well, it better be about Jesus because that's what Christmas is really about!" Rock on buddy, rock on!

Oh that is AWESOME!
Good for Jack!
that is so sweet...you're obviously teaching him well...what's the update on your adoption?? I guess I need to go and read farther down in your blog??? kristi
your Jack is the most quotable child I have ever known. Sometimes I have secret thoughts about naming a son Jack with the hopes that he will be as hilarious and strong willed as your Jackson...maybe I'll name my son Michael (in honor of my younger brother) Jackson (middle name in honor of your Jack). Oh wait. Michael Jackson. That won't work at all. I'll work on it. Either way, someday when I have a son like our youngest boys, You will be my LIFE COACH. Deal? :)
wow! that is so awesome to hear as a mom! they amaze you sometimes don't they?!
thanks for stopping in on the blog and taking the time to read my long posts. Love your Jack story!
What a great boy! Way to go Jack! That *is* what Christmas is all about.
