Superhero vs Villain

 Bobo..."Mom, we don't deserve heaven...but God sure is nice to let us in His home. Mom, did you know God is the best Super Hero ever and he is going to fight the worst villain in the universe, satan."

This is what Bobo told me today - just a few short days after his 6th birthday.

For some reason it stopped me in my tracks....did this really just come out of his mouth? He is only 6 - did he realize what pure TRUTH there was in his words? How quickly I have forgotten...Our Heavenly Father INVITES us IN HIS HOME. Home is where the heart is right?? I can tell you where this little boy-man's heart is....not entangled with earthly things yet....how can we raise them so that "yet" will become forever? 

God is the best Super Hero and the cool thing is this little boy truly believes that....there is always a good guy and bad guy when he plays. He told me God is the only real Super Hero.  And yes, little man, he is going to fight the worst Villain ever...and guess what else? I know who wins! 

So he turned 6 and we celebrated! 6 years without a broken bone...nothing short of a miracle for him - stitches and glue yes, but no broken bones! 

He came SO fast 6 years ago...I didn't have time to even have help with the pain - and OH the pain! (To think they tried to send me home...I just knew he was almost here!!) But OHHHH the joy when we we saw him for the first time.

It is quite comical for DJ & I - he looks different than any of our other ones so far - and he has since the moment he arrived.

He pushes the envelope in everything he does - he lives to the HILT!

Sometimes we have a hard time keeping up.

He has very little fear and is willing to try just about anything.

He likes things just so, but not as much as his big sister.

He is funny and can tell a joke very well...sometimes too well!

He says profound things for his age and "gets" way more than we realize...just when you think he is not listening he will tell you word for word what we say.

He has a fiery personality....and his little sister is following suit.

He get's in trouble way more than his siblings....but he is our little leader in training.

AND, he is our most affectionate child. He loves giving kisses to us. 
Happy Birthday sweet, CRAZY bobo - We love you more than words can express!
