Bed Time Stories

The other night I was reading the scriptures to Sebastien and Manti before bed. Sebastien is very interested in listening and learning about the scriptures. Manti will sit for a couple of minutes before he loses interest. Anyway, the other night we were reading about Joseph Smith and talking about how he went to ask for Heavenly Father's help...before I continued reading I asked Sebastien "How do we ask Heavenly Father for help?" (hoping he might say "prayer") He said, "May I have a drink of water please." It was too cute and funny.

Their favorite story is about Nephi on the ship and the "big storm". If you ask Sebastien to tell you about it, he could tell you the whole story. I love being able to read the scriptures and talk about them with the boys. It is so fun to see them get excited about the scriptures. If we forget to read before they go to bed, Sebastien is very quick to remind me. Sometimes I wonder if it is his way of stalling bedtime but then I hear him talking to Manti about what we read and realize he really is paying attention.

Keep up the good work, Troy and
Holli! You just never know when Sebastien might get the drink of water he's been asking for! Grandma loves your kids! Hmm! Wonder Why?
