Part of the daily routine for the kids is scriptures. Now that they have a card on the wall that says "read scriptures" to flip over, they make sure that reading gets done - which I appreciate! They're on top of things! Jake and Viva normally have someone read them a story out of the Friend magazine from church. Which is fine, the magazine is certainly getting much more reading than it has in the recent past.
Bentley, on the other hand, is working his way through the Book of Mormon by himself (my new big one, to tie it back into the conversation!). Tonight he was busy reading, and his sister scolded him: "Bentley, you don't have to read scriptures today. It's Sunday and we go to church instead."
To which Bentley replied: "But I want to read them!"
A little bit later, Bentley came out of his room with the scriptures. I asked him what was up, and he told me that Daddy was reading the Berenstain Bears to Jake & Viva but he really wanted to read one more page in his book instead. (and it was too loud in his room apparently...). A few minutes later he looks up and says: "He killed him! He chopped his HEAD off! Laban's head!"
Swords and mayhem? I think this 6 year old is hooked! :)
