Sam's preschool was cancelled this morning because his preschool teacher's grandfather died and she was attending his funeral. Sam has never thought about death or funerals. This is the first person he has had to think about in those terms. He knows he gets in trouble if he says "I am going to kill you."... Darn those superhero cartoons. But I don't think he really knows what death is. All day he has been asking me why people die? why do people get old?It is a lot to process for a 4 year old. I have told him we will all die eventunally and get to go back and live as families with Heavenly Father. He then said "will Molly die?" This Katherine and Ryan's dog who he bonded with on our treat to Ouray. Boy, those wheels are turning.Friday, December 5, 2008
All dogs go to heaven

Wow, I feel like I have just been going over the same questions (I wonder why). Jason gets it, Ian, not so much. And by the way, I like to believe that dogs go to heaven :)
What a cute conversation, especially the dog part!
It amazes me sometimes the things they pick up- yet it's such a grown up concept- you wonder how much they understand. Cade's been asking a lot about it the past several months, too. Maybe it's a 4-5 year old thing?
Very cute about the dog!
I want to give Sam a big hug and shield him from any pain for the rest of his life. Maybe it's me that needs the hug.
awww I love how their precious little heads think
