Each month Evelyn's Sunday School class does its activities around a different Bible verse, so we've taken to reviewing them together. It has been such a good practice and fellowship, and I am reminded of Deuteronomy 6:7, where we are encouraged to take the words of God and "impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you wake up." (By the way, Evelyn moves her head like this a lot.)
At one point I wondered if it was ok to offer a food reward to my kids for saying Bible verses, but I was refreshed to hear an older woman say, "The Lord ALWAYS rewards us when we know His Word!"
And in the spirit of giving thanks in everything, here is a funny conversation from the car yesterday:
Evelyn: (in her car seat behind me) Mommy, you have noodle hair.
Me: Noodle hair?
Evelyn: (giggling) Yeah!
Me: Is that good?
Evelyn: (laughing...laughing harder...saying while laughing...) NO! (more laughter)
So, this morning I took a shower. I even used the recommended second application of shampoo. The noodles just aren't long enough to become dreadlocks yet.

I am REALLY impressed that Evelyn has remembered all those verses! What a spiritual treasure!
It might be more impressive that I know them, too! What a blessing it has been to learn them together. (I'm trying not to give MYSELF food rewards--the spiritual ones should be enough!)
Lol...does that mean more regular shower/shampoo sessions?
It could be worse. You could have lutefisk hair.
Some of Evelyn's movements look just like Ceci's. It is funny how you can tell they're related.
That WOULD be scary! Or is it scarier that we both know what lutefisk is?
I'm VERY glad our girls are cousins!
