How are we made?

Lily has turned into a super curious girl.  She needs answers and wants answers to everything.  It seemed to start when I was pregnant and has progressively gotten more intense.

Here are just a handful of her questions over the past few months...
-How did the baby get in there?
-How does the baby eat everything you eat?
-How is the baby going to get out?
-Is the Dr going to put an apple on a string and put it down your throat and the baby will grab it and come out that way?
-What happens when we die?
-Did God dig up dinosaur bones and collect them to make Adam and Eve?
-Exactly how did he make Adam and Eve?
-How do bees make honey?
-Why did you marry daddy?
-Do I have to get married?
-Can I marry Daddy?
-Did God paint round rocks like eyes and put them in our head?
-Where does the sun go at night?
-How come the moon and sun are out at the same time sometimes?

Lily keeps me on my toes for sure.  She continued to question how we are made over and over and I would tell her that God made people.  She wasn't satisfied with that answer because she wanted to know exactly how did God make us.  I read from Genesis one morning and then told her the Bible doesn't exactly say how He made us and that God is just that awesome that He created everything.

Today, we made a creation book.  Each page tells what God created up until the last day when he rested.  Lily had so much fun picking through my stash of scrapbook paper, cutting things out, and gluing them down.  Then we put the book together and read it.

I'm sure the book we made won't stop her from asking questions about all sorts of things!  How fun it must be to be five.
