Was Blind, but Now I See

Gavin got glasses this week. The first night he wore them, he spent some time pointing at things in the house and exclaiming "What's that?!" No one realized how much he couldn't see before.
While laying in bed, waiting for mom to read him a bedtime story, Gavin pointed at his wall and said "What's that!?". Angie, after many failed guesses, realized he was pointing to the painting of Noah's Ark that is on his wall. He had never seen the rainbow in the painting before. After Angie explained what a rainbow was, he grew quiet and said, "oh". Then with much animation he again pointed at the wall and said "What's that!?". This time he was pointing to the ark. So Angie said "Well, God asked Noah to build a big boat for the all the animals to ride in." He then grew quiet again and said "oh".

The next morning, I called Angie to ask how Gavin was adjusting to wearing glasses. I could hear him in the background asking to talk to me on the phone. So he got on the phone and told me about his new glasses and started listing off everyone else he knows who wears glasses. Then, very unexpectedly, he asked if he could talk to God (as if I could hand the phone to God or something). With some quick thinking I offered to pass a message on to God for Gavin. Gavin wanted God to know that he says "hi". I later told him that God says "hi" back.

That night, Gavin approached my dad and told him to be sure to talk to God tonight.

I love how three-year-old's think. :)
