Numbers and Verses

Hannah has a new favorite number. I'm sure if I asked her she would say that three is her favorite number, since she is three years old, but that's not the number that she's always talking about. Today she's taking about five. Saying things like "Mommy I'll be there in five minutes." Or "There are only five cars left." And "Can I have five of them mommy?" It really is so cute.

She's obsessed with having me sound out words for her in books and pretending that she is sounding them out too. I'm amazed at how smart she is. She really is like a sponge in many ways. Robert and have been saying her memory verse with her from Sabbath school but after just a couple of times she has it memorized. We realize that now is the time to help her memorize Bible scripture since it's almost effortless and after some discussion we decided that the Lord's Prayer would be where we would start. So every time we put her to bed she says her memory verse and we say the Lord's prayer to her as she climbs in. Just the other day I noticed that she was saying the words along with me. So I started to pause and let her finished some of the verses. She did almost perfectly. It's really quite remarkable.
