TBT - Baby Jesus?

In 2007 we were living in Georgia and Cat, then 2, attended a Methodist preschool two mornings a week.  It was a great place with kind, caring teachers and they taught lots of Bible stories.  Cat loved going to preschool there and we loved it for her.

During the Christmas season, probably shortly after we'd told Cat that we'd be having a baby the following year, I picked Cat up from preschool and she excitedly told me all about what would be happening when the baby came.  "The baby's name will be JESUS and he'll be born in a STABLE!"

I quickly tried to kindly correct her on those two facts, but it took me a little longer to figure out why she had made those assumptions.  I think she was excited about the Christmas story she'd heard in preschool, but just a little confused about how it applied in our lives.
