Independence

I love it when my children start developing some independence and can solve their own problems.  The weather has been so nice and sunny lately that we've actually been getting out of the house.  Romney loves to ride his bike while I'll push Rebekah in the stroller.  Whenever he has an incline that is difficult to get up or some other obstacle to get over he just hops off his bike and pushes it up or over.  I've been to surprised by this.  In the past he has started throwing a fit or jumps off and throws his bike.  :)

Rebekah refuses to sit in her high chair anymore.  She insists on sitting at the table with the rest of us.  So, this morning I put her breakfast at the table.  She came over and tried to climb into the chair but couldn't quite get up.  Then she went running off.  I thought she was upset.  But, no.  She just ran into another room and came back with a stool.  She set it by her chair and climbed right on up.

It has been so nice having fewer fits and freaking out in our home.

Primary

I taught sharing time this last Sunday.  The theme for the week was "Through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved."  We started by memorizing the third article of faith.  We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.  We talked about what some of the bigger words meant.  I wish I could remember more of their answers.  Some of their answers were cute and I thought I would share.  Mankind:  one person.  Obedience:  something you're supposed to do.  Ordinances:  those parties at church, like the trunk-or-treat.    Don't worry I redirected them.  :)  It's nice to feel like you are actually teaching something new or helping them better understand a concept.  Primary is a lot a fun.  Although most of the time I feel like I am running around like a crazy lady!  It makes life very busy and leaves no time for boredom.  If it weren't for this calling I would probably be doing my usual anti-social thing of sitting in the back row, trying to be invisible.  Now I just need to memorize 145 children's names.

Nothing New

Okay so I haven't added any new post for a very long time.  I know.  But I did change my background and blinkie!  Happy Valentine's Day!
