Smart Kids!


My kids are growing smarter every day. We were very happy to see and hear Ethan's first memory verse recently. He went home from school and we are really surprised that he memorized the prayer that his teacher taught them today. He said it proudly in front of us with actions. Easel, his sister was also amazed! She isn't expecting that her little brother can recite a five-sentenced prayer, hehehe. Recently I bought activity books for both of them. It came to my mind the idea of letting them draw, color, read or write at night before going to bed in exchange of playing or watching TV. Ethan was so fast; he finished coloring his first activity book on the 2nd day. Today I gave him his 2nd activity book about numbers. I don't know yet how long it will take him to finish this one but I am sure that doing so will make him more familiar with his lessons because I bought those that were being taught by his teachers at this moment. All I know is that he is very eager to learn so I am grabbing the opportunity to teach and guide him whenever possible. On the other hand, Easel is very independent. She used to make her assignments on her own. She managed to memorize all her memory verses with minimum help from us. She is very active in school programs and activities. At home, she loves to play with Ethan. More often, they are playing together where Ethan plays the role of the teacher. Hehehe!!! Funny, since it should be the other way around. Anyway, it is nice that they enjoy being together
