I can’t help wondering why all that love and magic can’t be attributed to, you know, Jesus, rather than having to have this secondary guy to focus on, but I guess that’s a different discussion. still, this is a great example of treating your kid with love and respect that supports, rather than flattens, their discovery of magic in the world. thanks for linking.
