Day 2 Recap:
I was quite surprised at how excited LQ was at reading the "proper" scriptures with me. I guess it is because I have made them to be precious and she isn't to touch them without me. This worked in my favour this morning, because she was very attentive when I read her the scripture from Joseph Smith History.
She's still not into the whole story book idea and I am having some thoughts about doing my own picture board book each week for each story. This may seem like a bit more work, but I think she will sit still for the story if I do.
As expected LQ really enjoyed the colouring part of the morning. Here is how her picture turned out. I am sure she was trying to recreate the darkness that came before Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. If you squint you can make out the two Heavenly Beings behind her scribble.
As she was colouring I kept repeating the scripture to her and pointing out that Joseph Smith was reading the scriptures just like we did this morning.
LQ is also really into folding her arms and bowing her head ready for prayer, so I took advantage of any time that she wanted to do that I would say a quick little prayer with her. Thanking Heavenly Father for the scriptures, Joseph Smith, anything that related to our scripture study really.
This is so great! We read a verse in the Book of Mormon with Piper each night so that she can get used to the lingo. But then we review and summarize it in a way she can understand.
ReplyDeleteTwo suggestions (I haven't tried them but they look great). One is the Book of Mormon for Latter-Day Saint Families. Deseret Book puts in out. It's large print with pictures and definitions so that it's easier to understand. Two, Living Scripture videos. These are animated versions of the Bible and BoM. You can check out clips of the movies on livingscriptures.com. They have activity books that go with each story too. They seem a bit pricey but they have good rationale to be. Just a few thoughts.
