Ben shocked us in the car the other day on the way to school with a memory verse. He heard a commercial for the John 3:16 mission and said, “Hey! I know that!” He then recited the verse John 3:16 and got everything down pat except for switching “begotten” to “forgotten”. Something to work on for sure, but what a pleasant surprise that the verse had stuck with him. (It was not something we were practicing at home.) Mom told him it was tucked in his heart forever now. That had to be explained immediately as Ben was concerned what exactly "tucked" meant in this sentence and what it did to his heart. Such a literal and logical little guy!
In bible class, they were discussing how God made animals and Ben announced that he knew a lot about animals because he was “part scientist”! He probably is part scientist because he also frequently announces at bedtime that he is now nocturnal (so he can stay awake all night). It is hard enough not to laugh, but even harder because his pronunciation is “nocjournal”. Too cute!
Mom picked up Ben from school the other day and he came out with some extra drawings he had made. Ben proceeded to share with Mom that he had also taken two crayons in his pocket. He explained that he took them because we didn’t have any like that at home. Mom was concerned that he just took the crayons like it was no big deal and explained that we would need to return them to the classroom and let his teachers know. Ben replied, “Don’t worry Mom! They were free!” At least he is budget conscious? We’ll have to work on that one. . .

I love it! You'll be so glad that you wrote this stuff down.
