Chase is now four and for about a year now we have really stressed to Chase the importance of listening in Sunday School and learning the Bible stories and lessons that he hears his teachers talk about each week. It took him a while to really figure out how to focus with so many other things going on around him and some weeks his recap of that week's lesson had more holes in it than we would have liked. We encourage him (and Jacob) every week as we are getting close to church to really listen and pay attention that day and that we wanted to hear about their lessons as soon as we got back in the car. This week Charles and I were busy talking about something as we left church and as we turned onto the highway we heard Chase talking to Jacob about his Sunday School lesson.... he went through it one time, not realizing that we were listening and then when he was finished we asked him to tell us and that is when I got the following video:
**The way Chase tells the story makes me laugh every time! And at the end of the video when I am telling Chase good job you can hear Jacob in the background telling me "God is truthful. God is truthful." That was one of Chase's Cubbies verses from the fall and any time we are talking about learning something related to the Bible that is what comes out of his mouth!! That kid really cracks me up!**
We have two main Children Bibles that we use with the boys. Each night before the boys say their prayers and go to sleep Charles reads a story and Chase has gotten really good about sitting still, listening and digesting/learning what he is hearing. And now we know he is starting to do the same in Sunday School! This little boy loves reading God's word and learning all the Bible stories.... makes our hearts so happy!! We do, however, have a lot of work to do with Jacob!! Totally different personality and interest level than Chase had at that age! :)
Oh my word Katie! This is fabulous! I love that boy! It is so great how much he is absorbing :)
