The 4-Year Old and God, a Platonic Dialogue

I was more excited about the snow last week than I had been in ages. I couldn't sleep all night because I wanted to take Liam out to play in the snow. We were out the door by 7:00 and ran all around. We slid down the hill in the backyard on the snow shovel. I tried to show him how to make a snow angel, but Zoe kept running over and licking our faces whenever we would lie down in the snow.

It's pretty great being a dad.
