Falling Leaves
My boys
Just wanted to share some pics of my handsome boys.
This was taken just before the primary program a few weeks ago. We worked with Lincoln all morning and were able to get him to say his line on command pretty well, but when it came time to actually stand up there and say his part they phrased it very differently than we had and he got confused and hid under the pulpit. Instead of saying "I show my faith in Jesus Christ when I pray," his teacher surprised me and said, "Lincoln shows faith when he listens to his parents." It caught me so off guard that I laughed out loud. Oops.
We are very excited to be in our new ward now. Lincoln has two Sunbeam teachers. They asked me to sit in with him since it was his first week and I was very impressed with them. He has five little boys in his class and they all sat and listened very reverently. I wondered if Lincoln could actually do that too! I have hope. One of the ladies called me this week to ask about him and even sent him a postcard welcoming him to their class. Jackson did very well in his first week of nursery too.
I was excited to get a call on Monday night inviting me to a playgroup on Tuesday. One of my old roommates is in the ward and has two "little people" as she calls them. It is nice to have quite a few familiar faces around.

Go Fish
On Tuesday we went to a playgroup with our new ward. Lincoln was having a tough time sharing a ball at one point (with his brother) and I pulled him aside for a time out. I asked him "what do we say when someone has something that we want?" He replied, "go fish."
I couldn't help but laugh. I pulled myself together though demanding a new answer... "although that's a funny answer, I need you to tell me what we say to someone if they have something that we want."
"Go fish" (whinier this time).
I couldn't figure out what was making him say that until I looked over at the kid a few feet away eating goldfish. He wasn't paying the least bit of attention to my lecture or giving a smart answer; he was simply wanting more of what someone else had!
