A while back, my mom sent a video clip of a sweet little girl reciting Psalms 23. I thought, now there is something my boy can do. Zachary has a memory like no other. As a matter of fact, he can tell you things that happened on certain dates several years ago. Just this evening, we were reading a book about snow and he recalled a snow ball fight he had with his sister in 2006. He doesn't always get all the dates right, and thank goodness. I began to wonder if he would also remember all the times my parenting skills were less than perfect. That would be an appropriate pay back. 8-)
Each week at school, the students have to memorize a bible verse. I love that he is learning and hiding God's word in his heart. I'm learning too (one of the benefits of playing mom and tutor). Anyway, I figured I would record him reciting this little passage. At the end, I cut it off too early...he was saying, "I'm all done." It was cute.
And might I add, I memorized it too. My friend Brenda and I laugh at how easily it seems the young can memorize and how we struggle. I guess a little practice goes a long way. Note to self: memorization is not just for the young.

That's GREAT! Blaine does the same thing when he's reading outloud to me... the breathing thing. He just keeps right on reading through that breath and I can't tell what he's saying! Isn't that funny! I keep laughing and telling him, "You have to STOP for a second and take a breath!"
