Day Twenty-Five

Today was...Monday. Certain kids were a bit unruly. We managed to get our work finished and then made the short drive to the Yoder house for some play time. The older boys are working on memorizing poems and passages of scripture and if they memorize five things that I assign to them, they get to choose something from...*** drumroll please.... *** "THE PRIZE BOX". Simeon was, let's say...mildly offended that he did not have a memorization chart once he saw the older boys claim their prizes.

"WHERE is MY memory prize!?" He even added a little foot stomp to his protest, which I calmly addressed.

I caved in and bought him a prize at the toy store on our way to the Yoders. NOT because he threw a fit, but because when I asked him to recite the verse from Psalms that Dominic was memorizing, he did it.

Note to self: the little guy is totally capable of memorizing, and in fact, already knows most of what the older boys recited for me. He's listening.
