I just had a fascinating conversation with my 26-month old son.
It is well known that his favorite song is “It’s a Beautiful Life” by Ace of Base. He asks to listen to it several times each day & will usually dance enthusiastically to the beats. So as we were driving home together tonight we were jamming in the car to my “happy music” compilation. when “It’s a Beautiful Life” ended and “Praise You” (Fatboy Slim) began, I heard Rhys babbling in the back of the car.
here’s how it went:
“Babble, babble, amen.”
I turned the music down and listened as he continued. When he paused, I asked, “Rhys, are you praying?”
He replied, “Yeah,” babbled more and said, “Amen!”
“Rhys, what are you praying about?”
“I’m pray to God,” he said in a matter-of fact tone.
“What did you say to God, sweetie?”
“I’m pray for God it’s a beautiful life but then it stopped.” He babbled more about the song & God.
Did you want to listen to “It’s a Beautiful Life” again?
“Yeah.”
“Okay!”
So we listened again.
I’ve got such a beautiful boy!
