The Nativity

I stood back in awe this morning as Jack sat playing with the nativity pieces.  
This was one of those moments every parent dreams of where you feel like 
you are capturing your child's first moments with the spirit. 


I wondered what conversations these shepherds may be having as Jack seemed so concerned and intent.  You could tell that thoughts were being played out in his imagination,
 though no words ever left his lips.


He even seemed to be studying it out in his mind.  
What joy I felt at knowing that all of the night time stories of the nativity 
were finally paying off.


He was cuddled up in his chair so happy and full of joy.  I never wanted this moment to end.


And then this occurred...


Yes that was a body slam that involved the wise men.  When I asked Jack what had just happened he informed me that the middle guy (the one in the green cape) is the Green Lantern. 
 My heart was broken.  I captured this beautiful moment for nothing. 
 I'm not even sure he knows who the wise men are?  


Actually he does - What color is the cape?
