Proverbs 3:5

A few weeks ago I realized how much unintentional memory work Emma has done lately...songs, the alphabet, directions to our house, stuffed animal names, etc.  I remembered several people, including my stepmother (aka Meemaw), telling me that their children memorized scripture at an early age.  Hoping to begin filling Emma's brain with useful information (instead of so much of the junk I feel floats around mine these days) I  decided to give it a try.

Last Monday, I wrote our first verse on a sheet of posterboard and then let Emma color it.  I hung it in the kitchen where we could read and recite it during mealtimes.  And now:

And of course, the out takes.  She's great on the verse here too, but also manages to squeeze in a snack break with a misguided pea from dinner.  The kid will eat anything.

Next up: Proverbs 17:17.  

Yea, you're gonna look it up, aren't you!
