from the mouth of Children - Remembering

When we put Joshua down for the night I sing songs with him as we lay in bed together. Elissa's friend Liz was over as we were putting him down so we tried to get him said goodnight to all Joshua was being really shy a not wanting to give Liz a hug or say goodnight to her so we just went to bed. We started into our songs and got around to "He's got the whole world in his hands."

We sing several verses:

1. He's got the whole world...

2. He's got mama and daddy...

3. He's got Baby John and Joshua...

4. A combination of the above

5. Extended family - Uncles & Aunts, Grandparents, and cousins

But Joshua pleasantly surprised and amused me when I asked what verse we should sing next when he said, "He's got Elissa and her friend Liz."

It was amusing that he picked up on Liz calling Elissa by her name and encouraging that he picked up on Liz's name.

It's another reminder that Joshua is always listening.
