Prayer Time

Derek has been repeating prayers lately. I am sure it is because of his awesome nursery leaders. He loves nursery. 


Tonight he was saying a prayer at Family Home Evening (Family Night is always Mondays. We have a little lesson, play games and then have a treat sometimes). We were teaching/telling him how to pray again tonight and he said "Father," and then looked down and so gracefully picked up a Cheez-It! cracker. 

Our eyes were half closed (kind of) and we saw him pick up this cracker with such care and then just take a good bite out of it. Hilarious. It was like it was going to be his last Cheez-It! ever. As soon as he swallowed the chewed up cheesy goodness that is condensed into a 1 inch squared piece of crunch, he continued with the prayer. 

Funny kid.

Singin in the Rain

A couple weeks ago we watched Singin' in the Rain with Mike, Claire & Abby at their place on the large 65" television. It was an amazing experience for Derek. He has instantly fallen in love with the movie and now dances to "Moses", "Good Mornin'" and of course "Singin' in the Rain." 


One of our favorite versions of Singin' in the Rain is the VW commercial that played in Europe a few years back. Derek loves to watch it on YouTube and has come up with his own dance. 

Our favorite parts of Derek's dance are, besides the whole thing, around 1:00- 1:50. At about 1:45 he does his best to imitate the breakdancer in the VW video. 



The VW commercial is below:
