For Family Home Evening this week we decided to do our lesson from the Friend (which we are newly subscribed to at the turn of the year). We've had a hard time previously of involving Lydia with what we're doing without it turning into looking at pictures in the Ensign and repeating, "Jesus loves us" a lot. So instead, we did a lesson on how we're Children of God, and made crowns for us all (and read the corresponding story in the Friend). Lydia loved it.
Lydia then had to have a tutu, so she could have a princess dress as well.
Elisheva didn't get a crown, but she was okay with that.
All in all we managed to have an FHE with a small, but good lesson, an activity, and even a treat. Afterwards we had peanut butter custard pie with a fudge topping and talked about being Sons and Daughters of God.
Avram; "The only difference between sons and daughters of God is that the Sons can pee standing up."
Lydia; "I can pee standing up!"
We're so religious.

Looks like it was fun. Evidently the toilet training is not a full success yet.
ReplyDeleteNot only can she pee standing up, but she can also point out where language deconstructs.
ReplyDeleteAlso, it seems Lydia is well prepared for a long and fruitful SCA career. Queen in her own right, perhaps?
hehehehe.... i am seriusly laughing still from the comment about peeing standing up. i wish i could, it would make camping much nicer.
ReplyDeletelove the tutu. awww just felt my heart strings tug for a little girl. maybe one day, right?
and sorry i missed your call. it was a crazy day, we got the carpets cleaned and then i was cleaning to prepare for him to come and then after he left i was trying to do something with the piles of clutter that were hidden becuase he came in the first place. does that even make sence? and then i had enrichment night. which was pretty funny. we got there to find out we were having a relay race... we were divided into groups and given lists of things to be cleaned in the church. yep so i cleaned all day and then showered and got dressed and ended up cleaning the church all night. what can you do, right?
okay i will call you tomorrow before i make this any longer and pointless. :)
Cute!
