Last night for FHE we decided to teach Lincoln the song "Follow the Prophet" or at least a couple verses of it since it's like 13 versus long or something. :) He does really well with songs. I'm pretty surprise most of the time how quickly he picks up the lyrics. He can sing most of the words to all three versus of "Book of Mormon Stories" which is a song I thought would be way over his head.
Anyways, this month's Friend has a page (if you click the prophet picture page it will get bigger for printing, FYI) with pictures of the specific prophets the verses talk about and the words on the bottom (which are a big help for Aaron and I). We cut them out and taped them on to some cardstock squares to make them more sturdy, and then used packaging tape to self-laminate them. I think they turned out really well. The only reason we went to that much work is because I think I'm going to start saving things like that in manilla folders so in a couple years we can do that Family Home Evening lesson again, when Ivan and baby #3 are older.
So we read this story by Cecil O Samuelson and then sang the first 4 versus. Next week, I think we'll talk a bit more about what a prophet does and why it's important to follow him, and do the next few, and then the week after that maybe focus on President Monson and do that last couple. We'll see how it goes.
But as a small success, Lincoln did ask to sing Follow the Prophet for his bedtime song. :)
