Who's the best boy in the world?

So when I arrived at daycare the other day, Noah was crying. His feelings were really hurt over something that had happened with a long time friend. Poor little man, he was 'really' crying and was genuinely hurt. As he got his shoes on, we talked about what the little boy said. I asked him alot of questions in order for him to think about what the other boy had done, also a chance to recognize on his own that it was not nice.

As we were driving home, Noah said "thank you so much Mommy for cheering me up, it feels so nice to have a Mommy who is so nice to me". Ahhhhh....my heart was so happy. It opened the door up to talk about orphans, or children in the foster care system. I asked him to think about all the little boys & girls that do not have a Mommy or Daddy to cheer them up when they are sad. We talked a while about it and then this is what the conversation was:

Noah: "Mom, remember how you always tell me I'm the best boy in the world"? (something I tell him every night at the end of special cuddle and every day when I drop him at school or day care).
Mommy: "Yes, I remember honey"
Noah: "Well, that's not true, I'm not the best boy in the world"
Mommy: "Why, yes you are honey. Why would you say something like that?"
Noah: "Because I'm the 2nd best boy in the world"
Mommy: "Well then who is the first"
Noah: "Jesus is Mom, because he does so many nice things for so many people, because he helps everybody when they need help, like that Mommy. That's why He's the first and I'm the 2nd"
Mommy: "You are absolutely correct honey, why didn't I think of that. You are so smart"

I am beyond happy that Noah is learning, accepting and embracing faith.... Since this night, I keep asking though, how did we get from saying a bedtime prayer, saying grace before meals and reading from his 'Super Hero' Bible each night....to his (obvious) understanding? Either way, I am so excited for my little trooper on his journey to Jesus!
