I saw my daughter writing on something tonight, I went over and saw that she is actually copying the five precepts from a comic book called "Inspiration from Buddha" to her little note book. They say that parents set examples for their children, this reminds me to be more careful in what i do around my children.
During our Krabi trip over the last weekend, we went on a 4 island trip that involves taking a local bump boat to the islands, my daughter is visibly scared as the weather was getting bad and the sea getting rough. Later on i realised that she has calmed down, and noticed that her lips were , she was chanting "Namo Amitabha" during the ride.
When we went for shoping, she insisted in buying a buddha statue and in the end my wife bought her a small Maitreya bodhisattva statue.
When i told someone that buddha lived 2500 years ago recently, she can even correct me and said that it was 2600 years ago. She even explained to me how according to the buddhist legends, humans came about on this earth.
I don't know what future lies for her but will try my best to show her the correct path, whether she would eventually become a buddhist or not would depend on her affiliations with buddhism.
