Through the eyes of my toddler, I'm taught an important lesson

Through the eyes of my toddler, I'm taught an important lesson.
My husband and I keep a crucifix above our bed. We always pointed out to our son that it was Jesus. So, it wasn't a total surprise to us that one of his first words was "Jesus" or should I say "Jejee". At church he gets excited to point out Jejee for himself when he sees the crucifix above the alter. Whenever he sees Jesus he does not hesitate to point it out. If I wear a cross necklace he tells me he sees Jesus. If we go to someone's house and he sees a cross on the wall, he tells me he sees Jesus. If we drive by a church he tells me sees Jesus. But lately, he has broadened his interpretation of Jesus.....when I wear my "Holister" sweatshirt, he tells me he sees Jesus. When we drive by a telephone pole he tells me he sees Jesus. At Walmar(t), he sees Jesus. And, the list goes on.
At first I didn't get it so I was correcting him and telling him "no, that's not Jesus" But, then it hit me, I realized that my toddler was actually teaching ME to see Jesus in everything. Do you see Jesus?
