Bad times and good times...FHE

The other week I had a lesson planned and was all ready for FHE. Of course, things never go as planned. Jonah kept crawling away, Graham kept pulling on Jonah's leg to make him come back then Jonah would scream his ear piercing scream and Jason was trying to referee the whole thing so that I could give my lesson. Needless to say I ended up throwing my lesson down and my arms up in the air and stomping out of the room (I know it was so mature of me).Then this week Jason was giving the lesson on prayer and he was reading part of a conference talk to us. Graham raised his hand to say something and Jason told him to wait just a second so he could finish reading the part he was on. When it was Graham's turn to talk he told us that he thought he had figured out how he gets answers to his prayers. He said that Heavenly Father would tell the Holy Ghost and then the Holy Ghost would tell his heart and then his heart would tell his head. I was so happy that he was listening enough to participate especially after last weeks episode. When Jason went to read another part from the conference talk Graham stopped him and said that if he had another question could we answer it right away because he almost lost that one waiting for his turn.

Graham cracks me up! That is neat that he recognizes how the whole prayer thing works at such a young age. I am sure after hearing his great comment you won't hesistate to let him speak up sooner next time because that would be sad if he "lost" it.

That last part is hilarious. Doesn't it make you so excited when they remember something you've taught them?! Your boys are so cute!
