Family Home Evening

Today I could post about my awful morning... Lucas throwing drill bits into my exhaust pipe, putting a screw in an electrical outlet, dumping an ENTIRE bottle of baby powder upstairs... truly the list could go on.

Instead I am going to post about FHE. We have been struggling in these parts with FHE. We have it every week, but it just isn't that successful. I want Lucas to sit still while we have a lesson. I want him to fold his arms and sing songs. Yesterday as I thought about our lesson, I decided obviously I was doing something wrong. So I pulled out all my old nursery gear and started preparing. I made 11 lesson folders that can be used over the next 3 months. I cut, colored, pasted and laminated. Then I velcroed them to their own individual folder so we don't lose them, and labeled accordingly.


Last night we had the "Jesus Loves Me" Lesson and I am happy to report it went way better than expected. Lucas interacted, pointed, played the matching game... I was shocked. I am so glad it went well otherwise the fact that I ignored all household duties yesterday while I crafted would have been a waste!

I am actually looking forward to FHE next week! My hope is that by the time this next new baby is 18 months Lucas will be a perfect example of how to act during FHE! :)
