In Educational News: Monday night Rebekah decided that
Maeve needs to start learning to talk. She has come up with a rigorous
vocabulary building program for her little sister. First, Rebekah made
several flash cards with the target vocabulary
words and a pictures of the words on them, such
as the word BED with a picture of a bed. According to Rebekah the
picture is so that Maeve can know what she is reading about as she is
learning her new words (I love that she is reading
before she is talking). Each night Rebekah reviews 4 vocabulary
words with Maeve, with the goal of Maeve learning those 4 words by the
end of the week. If Maeve works hard and successfully completes her
educational goal, then Rebekah has thought up some
rewards for her. The rewards so far are an extra bottle of milk and spending
extra play time with a person of Maeve's choice. I think Rebekah
has come up with a fairly solid educational system. :) She never
ceases to amaze me. :)
In FHE news: Monday night Rebekah was giving a lesson on being a
Peacemaker like Jesus (she had an action packed Monday) for Family Home Evening. For part of her lesson she read some scenarios that had a conflict happening and then the boys took
turn answering what they would do to be a Peacemaker in that situation.
Xavier didn't quite get the jist of what we were
going for. When it was his turn Rebekah ask: "You and your brother are
arguing with each other. What do you do?" Xavier's instant response
was: "You cry." Needless to say Dustin and I both busted up laughing
because that was the most honest response Xavier
could have given. Such funny kids. :D
