A Biblical error of catastrophic proportions...

So my wife has come up with a great idea to start teaching the kids some Bible verses and has made up the creative fun cards that we leave on the dining table and discuss during meals. For me I'm hoping not only will the kids start to remember them but to also match the words visually to what they're saying and will help them learn to read. (I've been trying to teach Noah how to sound out words so he can start to read the....it's not been as productive as I like but I keep at it hoping the light will come on; he is only 3 right now.) We also work with Noah on some sight words too.

So back to dinner tonight and Noah is repeating the first first that he's memorized:

"As for me and my house, we will server the Lord." - Joshua 24:15

He knows it and can recite word for word. Not bad, he makes his Daddy proud. Next up is the second verse he's working on and he proudly recites it:

"Be kind to one another and chop each other up." 

I almost spit my spoonful of spaghetti all over the table. Melissa and I were laughing too hard to correct him. Yes you read that right he said CHOP each other up. LOL.The verse should say:

"Be kind to one another and build each other up." - 1 Thessalonians 5:11

If you don't think God has a sense of humor, hang around a kid. :) 

And yes we did correct him. Hey, at least he got the be kind part right.

Puzzling puzzles...

Back when Noah was 2, we had gotten a 25 piece Veggie Tales puzzle. He was fascinated by it and we soon learned that our high energy boy would happily sit quietly while working on it. He would do it over and over.
Since then we have gotten him more puzzles to work on and he still loves to do them. We've been letting him do 50 - 60 piece puzzles. Yesterday, I gave him his first 100 piece puzzle. It was pretty challenging being that most of the puzzle was green and blue (frogs, grass, and water). After 2.5 - 3 hrs of intense focus and encouragement, he finished it by himself. He was so happy, and I was so proud of him for not giving up. Guess it's time to find some more puzzles...

Noah's preschool trip to the firehouse

Noah was so excited he woke up at 2:30am this morning saying he was ready to go see the firetrucks!
