Gabriel is still half-heartedly potty training. Today, he was wandering around the house wearing only a Pull-Up and a shirt. He walks over to his little potty thing, which is in the living room, then pulls his shirt up. I assume he's going to pee, and my attention wanders elsewhere.
"Mommy, look me," Gabriel insists. I look at him, and he's got his shirt, still pulled up, tucked under his chin, so his belly and Pull-Up are exposed. His arms are spread wide apart, and his hands are open. "I Jesus!" He says, and gets a huge grin on his face.
Nothing registers for a few seconds. Then I realize that Gabriel is imitating the Corpus on the giant crucifix at the front of St. Brigid. The one where Jesus is stripped of all clothing except for a loin cloth. All this time I thought Gabriel was firmly ignoring all things related to Mass, and here he was watching Jesus, thinking that He was wearing a Pull-Up, too.
"I Jesus!" he says again, smiling hugely, while I silently thank Jesus for sharing His Gabriel with me.

Bleeding stigmata next?
We've already done that here. Sometime last year, Lotus drew on her hands with marker and informed us all that it was stigmata because she was "so holy".
Having these freakish children is proof that God has a sense of humor.
OMG, out of the mouths of babes...
It is amazing what they pick up and process...
Haha I love the Jesus in pull-ups idea. So cute!
