Heavenly Father's house

So we have been working on reverence in sacrament meeting. And Jared is having a little bit of trouble with the whole concept, but he is getting better. It has been a few weeks since he's had to be taken out in the hall.
Anyways, so we have been telling him that when we are in the church we are in Heavenly Father's house and we need to be reverent. I just wanted to share a couple of things that he has said and invite you into the innocent mind of a 3 year old.

A couple of weeks ago he was sitting on my lap as they passed the sacrament and whispered in my ear,
"Mom, this is Heavenly Father's house, so we have to be quiet." then after thinking a couple of seconds he says, "Mom, is this Heavenly Father's house?" I said, "yes it is." Then in all seriousness he asks, "Where are his stairs?"

Then last week again during sacrament he says, "Mom, Jesus sleeps in primary." I was a little confused and then I understood: If this is Heavenly Father's house, then obviously His Son, Jesus, would live here too, and you have to have a place to sleep in your house so his logic is that Primary is Jesus's room and therefore where He sleeps.
I happen to think that my son is wise beyond his years. For I truly believe that Primary is where Jesus would choose to be if he indeed did live at church. I am so thankful to have the children that I have and to be able to watch as their sweet testimonies grow.
