Bedtime with the boys is one of our favorite times of the day at our house. We take a bath, brush our teeth and then run to get 3 or 4 of our favorite books to read. So much learning happens at bedtime, it is amazing how much their little minds soak up when you read together! Case in point....I started reading this book to the boys 3 nights ago, "Jesus and the 12 Dudes Who Did". It is a great book about learning the names of the 12 diciples and what they were most known for. I thought this would be a great way to teach the boys about who the diciples were, heck, for that matter, I couldn't even remember all of the 12 names. Can you? I could name a few but not all. We sat down last night to review the book before we started reading it and Hudson remembered all 12 and what they did and Sheppard knew most of them...incredible! They definitely are stronger in their bible knoweledge at their age than I ever was! Nothing makes me prouder than seeing/hearing my boys get excited about God!Teaching the boys about the 12 Dudes....
