We started a new family tradition this lent (which we plan on continuing after lent is over) of reading a bible story from Allia's children's bible at bedtime. This bible has beautiful illustrations which are really good at catching her attention (Way to go Brandon and Helen - Allia's godparents who gave it to her). However she has been fixed on this one, which she lovingly calls "the poking page." We have had several conversations about it and finally jumped ahead to read the story tonight. She is still a little confused about why Abraham wants to poke his son. After we discussed it with her for a while, she decided that I used to poke her too, but I don't anymore. She even demonstrated with little poking gestures all over her back. I just hope she doesn't tell anyone that! It makes you wonder how those CPS workers can really tell what is going on when talking to an imaginative 3 or 4 year old! They must be very skilled. Hopefully the real meaning of the story will sink in eventually...
