Oh My Sweet Boy!

Garrett came home late tonight because of scouts and a work meeting that went late, so I told Jonathan that he could watch one show on TV and then, they had to turn the TV off. I got busy cleaning up upstairs and lost track of time. Jonathan came to the stairs and said, "Mom, I turned the TV off; my show got over." I was so touched. It's times like these when I want to keep him this age forever and feel lucky for the opportunity to be a mom!

Quotable Quotes

Gabe's Sunbeam class combined with mine Sunday so I got to teach him how to pray. Monday, for Family Home Evening, he taught what he learned to his brothers. He told them that when you pray, you fold your arms, close your eyes, and "bend over." Then, he demonstrated by doing a bow that resembled the ones from The King and I....cute.
Our neighbor came over and was teaching Jonathan how to play basketball. "If you shoot from here, you get two points. If you shoot from here, you get three points. If you run with the ball, you're traveling." A little while later, I watched as Gabe and Jonathan walked around arm in arm, while the neighbor shot baskets. Jonathan explained, "He shoots the baskets, and we're the travelers."
I've been teaching the kids to follow last month's Friend article on studying the scriptures, so we start our scripture study with a prayer to help us "understand" the scriptures - which is a hard word for little boys. Today, Jonathan said, "Please help us 'stand' the scriptures!"
