family home evening meets joy school

In joy school we have been talking about our bodies and all the wonderful things they do; like seeing, hearing, walking, jumping etc. (Joy school is an at-home pre-school Levi is in that is run by the moms of the kids in his class). We have talked a lot about muscles and blood and bones and such stuff. The one thing Levi has really taken a liking to is the fact that we have red blood cells. There is also a book he loves that shows a body without skin so that you can see all the muscles.

Today when we closed family home evening, his request for a closing song was "We gently take off our skin."

So I made up a song that dealt with us taking off our skin and seeing our muscles underneath, much like the book we had been looking at earlier. Next, Levi made up a song about Jesus losing all his red blood cells when he died for us. I don't know if I should be proud or mortified.
