Star of Wonder

The world is holding six year olds closer than ever this week. It is surely why the Mister and I were especially touched to find this artwork from our resident six year old around the house.

"this is the brth of jeus. I love jeus so much."

"this is the staible. Baby Jeus is going to be born there."

I looks like Big Sister drew herself there, smiling at Baby Jesus in the manger. Either that or she imagines Mary wore two pigtails. How sweetly simple. Maybe enviably so. But also just what she should be thinking about a week before Christmas. A tiny girl, the guiding star and Baby Jesus. 

Our six year old is walking slowly toward Christmas, as my mother and grandmother would say. As it should be, Big Sister, as it should be.
