Lessons from a 2 year old

This little boy absolutely warms my heart.  He's all boy and loves boy things.  He also has a temper which he shows off from time to time.  Putting that aside, he did something tonight that was very interesting. 

Last night I put up my Christmas tree.  It isn't decorated nor will it be until Thanksgiving is finished.  I just really wanted to see how the furniture would fit with it up.  Since we moved the furniture, there was a big empty spot where the tree should go, so I put it up. 

Tonight, the Gourleys came over which is normal for a Sunday.  Adam came in and noticed immediately the the tree was up and said, "Tree. Beautiful."  (It's pre-lit and the lights were on.)  After some time he came over by me and looked up at the top where angel Moroni is our tree topper.  He folded his arms and became very reverent. 

My question is, how does this little boy even know who Moroni is?  He certainly has seen him on top of the many temple he saw some 10 months ago, but not since then.  It was a testament to me about how much our little ones know and just how pure they really are.  Any time I see this little guy getting into mischief, I just have to picture him folding his arms as he looks up at the Angel Moroni.  Isn't that putting things into perspective?
