children and God

I have this tendency to change lyrics to songs. Whatever tune is stuck in my head, I'll just make up my own words. I do it so often, that my kids don't know the real words to the song. I constantly insert Nate or Noah's name into the song "Oh How I Love Jesus". If you're unfamiliar with it, here's Elvis giving it a whirl:



So, my version goes "Oh How I love Noah" or Nate. The other day in the kitchen, this is how it went.

I start singing "Oh, How I Love Noah"
I change to the real lyrics, "Oh, How I Love Jesus"
Nate says, "That's silly daddy."
"Why's that silly, buddy?"
"That's just silly."
"Well, I do love Jesus."
Nate looks at me for a minute.
"I love God."

I'm not sure if I should be really happy, or if he thinks he one-upped me on this. How do you teach an almost three year old a proper Christology?
