Goliath

Little John loves the story of David and Goliath. We have a great picture book that with some voices and sound effects added throughout makes an exciting bedtime story that is one of his favorites. Once he made the connection that Goliath was a giant, everything huge became "Goliath" said in a big, deep voice. This might be anything from a large animal to a large bubble.

One day we were shopping at Nordstrom's when he came running to my sisters and said that he had seen "Goliath" (again in a big, scary voice). Upon investigating we found "Goliath" to be a very tall man working one of the counters in the men's department. He had no idea that he was making the Bible come alive for a toddler that day. Oh, the way their little minds work! It's amazing to me how they can learn vague and abstract concepts and make connections all on their own! It is one more reminder to me of how it is never too early to begin making those little brain connections to God, His love, and the ways He works in our lives!
