This past weekend my husband and I were talking to Kylie about the lord and heaven. She wanted to know how you get to heaven. Kirk and I were telling her on her level so she would understand, and she understood more than I thought she would. She still keeps asking why do we have to stay in heaven forever, after we die. She just tells us she wants to be able to come back home and live with mommy and daddy. Then she said " Mommy where will we all sleep"? And I told her that "Jesus has really big beds there for everyone and there bigger than mommy and daddy's bed." She looks at me with really big eyes and says "really, that's awesome". There was silence for a few minutes and then she comes and asks me " well what if we get bored in heaven "? I told her " Kylie there will be no time in heaven to be bored, we'll be with Jesus". She looked at me with her hands in the air and said " come on mom like Jesus is gonna want to play with me and Cyrus everyday ", I looked at her as serious as can be and could not help but laugh. I just told her " I bet he will ". After that she walked away for a few minutes and came back and asked me " ok where are we gonna eat mom"? I told her "we'll be eating a feast with Jesus at really big table", and then she says " yeah like that table is gonna be big enough for everybody to eat at once". I just started laughing. After that she left me alone about the heaven thing. She still asks questions everyday. She always comes up with something. Yesterday she said " I don't want to die just to go to heaven, that would be silly". I said " why not heaven is a much better place than here". She finally asked " ok if I want to go to heaven than what do I have to do"? We told her you have to pray and ask Jesus into your heart, and she asked how do I do that, so we had her repeat what we said and she thought that was the greatest thing that she asked Jesus into her heart and went around telling everyone.

Lately we've had several occasions to visit the funeral home, and my son has had some of the same questions. Every time he accidently lets go of a balloon it goes to heaven to his Nanny and MeeMaw. He also wants to see his dog Toby and his goldfish Roadrunner when he gets there.
