The Nativity… told from a cow

We had a great day at church this morning.  Laura Story came and sang.  She’s awesome.  Then I went on to teach my Kindergarten boys class.  It really is sweet.  Everyone sort of apologizes when they drop their kids off for some reason.  Like Kindergarten boys are a nightmare or something.  I HAVE a 5 year old little boy and I think he’s pretty precious.  I love all of our conversations in class.  Today, one kid pointed to my boob and said, “Are you going to feed your baby with that?”  Nice, and not inappropriate at all.  HA!  However, most of our talks are about superheros and most of our pictures we color involve guns or star wars or Lego men.  All precious. 

Speaking of precious, I was sitting down to work on my lesson plans for this coming week and noticed Will’s notebook open to his last assignment.  I had gone out of town for the weekend, so Chris was kind enough to finish the work for me so I could get off.  The assignment was to tell a description from a point of view of someone (person or animal) at the Nativity.  I had not seen what Will had said.  This is what I found…..

The Nativity– told from a cow

I see someone putting cloth on that baby.  I feel cold.  The people are bowing down.  I think the baby is cold.  It makes me think about when I was born.  It makes me feel good because He is King.  When the King is grown up, we’ll have a party and lots of hot chocolate!

…and what a party that will be.  So true, my sweet Will.
