We started scripture reading with the kids this year. We're supposed to read everyday but we've only done it a handful of times so far this month so there is definitely room for improvement as the year progresses. The kids are too young to read so we let them repeat one verse after us word for word. They love it and they totally think they're reading. Lol! I've noticed though that they've gotten more antsy and restless with time so sometimes one whole verse is asking way too much of them. Elina does ok with her one verse because she can repeat phrases rather than one word at a time. Talanoa can barely sit still long enough to finish a sentence. Lol. She adds a few of her own amen's in there mid-verse. I think it's her attempt to hurry to the end. Haha! It's funny to hear them enunciating each word but they do a great job tackling those big words. I think this will help with their reading skills and their vocabulary.
I love that they are learning about the scriptures even though they don't understand anything. Now they actually know what the scriptures are (huge step for our family) and get excited to flip through them. It's rewarding to see them with scriptures in hand and a smile on their face. I really hope we keep this up, more for my kids than for us even though we need it more than they do. They motivate me to want to be better for them and I hope we can help them build a strong spiritual foundation while they are young.
She cries to hold them herself. Little Miss Independent!
Elina offered her photography services for the rest of these pictures. Lol
