we must be doing something right.

most of Carly's first year we weren't especially good at doing family scripture study.
its hard when she is so little.
how much could she really be getting out of it?
one of our new years' resolutions was to be better at that.
we've been getting her all ready for bed, then reading scriptures and saying a family prayer before she gets her bedtime story and bottle (still).
we aren't perfect but we're trying.

[remember this delicious one-year-old?]

Tonight I got home from the gym just in time to eat a quick dinner and participate in the bedtime rituals.
When she was all ready, I sat in the rocker with her story books and told her to come over for stories.
She started saying some word.
It was a word I had never heard her say before.
She started pointing out her bedroom door.
Oh, great. I thought. What does she want?
She said the mystery word over and over.
She left her room and went into ours.
Chris followed.
She pointed to a stack of books.
"Scriptures?" Chris asked.
"Yah."

We must be doing something right.

so cute! Our little ones are so much alike. G thrives off of routine, even when he sits in his room and runs around like a monkey the whole time we pray. We KNOW he gets something out of it, because he cries and cries if we forget.
