2 Cor 5:17 is a favorite verse at our house, it says that "if anyone is in Christ, He is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come". There is debate among Christians about how old a child/person needs to be to make that decision for themselves (in order for it to be genuine). It took us (Kevin and I) until the college years to figure out the truth and reality of that mysterious, yet simple, concept. For our kids, it seems to be around age three and a half or four. Daniel was barely three years old, but he remembers the moment well several years later (and he's always been a little ahead of himself anyway!). Whatever the case, the somewhat tattered and worn nativity sets that adorn various corners of our home, have just become a little bit more special to us!
