You Just Can’t Keep Them From Learning!
Shawn kept having the Ay Ay Ay Song going through his head, so he said he wanted to learn the whole thing, so he could really sing it. So I looked up the lyrics and taught him the song. We sang it so much that Emma learned it, too. She came up to me a couple of days later and started singing it to me. I had almost forgotten it, and she helped me to re-learn it, so I decided it was time to get out the video camera. Here’s Emma and Abby, and sometimes Garrett, singing Cielito Lindo.
I had been working with the twins and Kelsey and Morgan on the Books of the New Testament. I taught them a song, and when they learned it perfectly, they knew all of the Books of the New Testament, and they got a prize out of the Treasure Box.
Kelsey quickly learned them all, then Morgan, then Garrett, then Fiona. Little did I know that little ones were listening in and learning them, too. Abby and Emma surprised me one day when they started singing, “Matthew, Mark, Luke, John…” So I decided to record them singing that, too. They got a prize for learning them as well as they have them now. When they get them perfect all by themselves, they will get another prize. They are working on them!








"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no other's hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller
