That Soda is for God

Last week my son and I were lighting the candles for Shabbat and as I set the table, my son began eating the Challah - one of his favorite foods. I told him he needed to wait, we needed to say the prayers first. I poured the "wine" in the Kiddish cup and Joshua started to reach for that saying, "I want that soda." (Fear not, it contained no wine, we prefer sparkling juice.) As toddlers like to do, he repeated his request saying, "I want that juice." I said, no, that is for God. Then he says, "I want God's soda." I could not help but laugh and found myself looking upward, thinking I hope God was enjoying this! It was the first time I have heard my son say the word God.
