Stars and Rainbows

Starflower,

Your favorite song is "Child 'o God" (I am a Child of God). You love to watch the video and you love me singing it to you over and over and over. I love that song too but have been wishing you would let me sing some others as well as I sing you to sleep. However you have very adamantly refused any other songs for bedtime. 
      Tonight you once again became very angry when I started to hum a different tune.  "Don't you like any other songs?" I asked. "No! Child o' God!" You yelledThis time I had an idea.  Don't you like the song about your Northalynn star?"  "Mm-hmm"  and you let me sing I am Like a Star Shining Brightly.  When I finished you said "My star song again" a few times in a row.  Becoming braver I tried to sing another song but once again you loudly refused.  "What about a song about rainbows?" "Yes" Another success. I sang "I Like to Look for Rainbows"  several times and you told me when to sing "wainbow" and when to sing "My star song."  I tried a few times to convince you to let me add in some other songs, but those were the only two that you wanted. 

I love you,

Mom

Erika's Dream Park

Lady Slipper,

It is almost your birthday.  You wanted to choose what we did for scripture study today and chose to listen to the friend magazine on my phone.  Your favorite story this month is "Erika's Dream Park" (April 2017 Friend)

We  also watched a video of a new primary song about "Many Names of Jesus" and read a fun activity page in the friend where we get to fill in the blanks as we discover some of the names of Jesus.  It would be fun to figure out those blanks.  That will be a great study time for the next few days.

Love,

Mom

Nimrod's Temple Tower

Lady Slipper,

Today we learned about the tower of Babel.  We learned that Nimrod was the man who decided to build the tower.  He was Noah's great grandson but he did not believe in obeying God's laws and he did not have the priesthood.  He wanted the tower to be a temple even though he did not have the authority to build a temple. He had too much pride.

Then we read cinderella and learned that her stepmother had pride too. That is why she was so mean to cinderella.

Pride often precedes destruction.

Starflower and I love learning with you. Thank you for playing with her and for sharing your crayons with her. She loves to be with you.

Love,

Mom

I am a Child of God

Starflower,

As we snuggled together after watching "I am a Child of God" (video on Mormon channel) all was calm and quuet.  Suddenly You started to say all the words of the chorus in your little sweet voice.  It was incredible.  I have never heard you say long sentences like that before.  It is so anazing!!  I am so happy I was able to hear it.  Thank you!!  It has been a tough day for me, and your song calmed and inspired me.

I love you so much,

Mom
