The boys went to church today while us girls stayed home. Ruby's nose just won't stop a runnin' and I had an upset tummy. So when the boys came home from church SO EXCITED, I could hardly believe it. They were proud as puddin' to show off their gift from the Primary Presidency: their VERY OWN Book of Mormons. Kaleb immediately labeled the inside of each "Kaleb's Book of Mormon" and "Dylan's Book of Mormon." They were so stinkin' cute about it, it made me wonder, why hadn't I given them their own earlier? (In my defense I HAD thought about it, especially since Kaleb has started REALLY reading and we'd been having him read a verse or two during our family scripture study, but just hadn't done anything about it yet.) The rest of the day they kept asking to read them and anytime they'd catch me reading (Jacob Have I Loved) they'd say, Are you reading your Book of Mormon, Mom? Hmmm... Mom might need to work on that.
We also started learning a primary song each month during our nightly devotional. Last month we learned I Know My Heavenly Father Loves Me, and this month we're learning Scripture Power. Admittedly sometimes we just have to get the kids to bed and settle for family prayer, but I love it when we get all three in (song, scriptures, & prayer). I can really feel an increase in the Spirit in our home and love learning from the example of our sweet, innocent children. Life is SO good. We are SO blessed!
