"God" made that

Every night for the past 2 weeks Serif has asked for our last bedtime book be "the ocean one." This is one that I had made through iPhoto of our Florida vacation last year. Tonight he noticed that there was a sand dollar on one of the pages. He asked me what it was and I told him a sand dollar. He then asked, "Who made that?" I first said Jesus but quickly corrected myself to say God. There was a slight pause in our conversation and he said, " Serif God-by . . . so, I made that!"

To explain a little further, we have also been reading another book that goes through all the letters of his name and spells it out a letter at a time (each page building on the next.) So one page has "God" spelled out as we spell "Godby." I assume this is what triggered that in his head. So funny!

Developmental note: He's been spelling "Serif" for a couple of months now but "Godby's" been slower. He does recognize both on paper though and can find his name on things at school.
