My little A just loves the movie Up. For weeks, she watched it 2-3 times a day. She can quote certain lines and when putting her to bed she would ask non-stop questions about the people in the movie. She just loves Mr. Fredrickson, Russel and the bird Kevin.
A few weeks ago, my parents dog had to be put down (she was very old and had cancer). So little A started asking if Ginny was in heaven. She knew that Ginny had gone to be with Jesus in heaven. Of course she had tons of questions about heaven. We told her that Jesus has a house in the sky called heaven and that it is so high up that we can't see it. It has been a great teaching tool.
The funny thing is that when she pronounces heaven she says "kevin." So my question is: is she not able to pronouce heaven with an h or is she confusing heaven with Mr. Frederickson's house being up in the sky from the balloons and Kevin the bird sitting on the house? She talks about Jesus being in "kevin", but I guess I may never know which one she is actually talking about. She can pronouce h's normally, but maybe heaven is just a hard one for her?
Anyway, it just brings a smile to my heart. Either way she knows there is a Jesus and he lives in "kevin" and that maybe there is also a bird named Kevin up there too.
