Interview With Brennan

Amber over at Click, Love, Pray did an interview with her son who just turned three. I really liked the idea and decided to do the same thing with Brennan. I had no idea how it would go, but he seemed to like answering the questions and for the most part gave "right" answers; at least ones that I would expect him to give.

1. What's your favorite color? Orange (this is odd because he's never    said that orange is his favorite before)
2. What's your favorite toy? Trouble (the board game)
3. What's your favorite fruit? Grapes

5. What's your favorite thing to eat for lunch? Macaroni and 
   cheese

8. What's your favorite animal? Elephant
9. What's your favorite song? (He thought for a long time on this
    one) Booty shakin' (Momma might've taught him that answer to
    "what kind of music do you like?") Deep and Wide
10. What's your favorite book? Numbers (he loves any counting
     book)

Dyeing Easter Eggs

After lunch yesterday, Brennan and I spent some time dyeing Easter eggs while Bryce was napping. Please excuse Brennan's crazy faces. I think we're in that awkward smile for the camera phase.

Double Trouble

Well, they aren't that much trouble yet. More just double the cuteness!

Made With Love

I could just eat him up!

One Way, Jesus!

I especially loved our RRSP time this week. The format is the same each time, so I like finding new and interesting ways to present it to Brennan so he doesn't get bored. He seemed to really be into it this week too. Our letter was "V", our number was 8, and the word was "me". The verse was from John 6:47 "Verily, verily I say to you, he that believeth on me hath everlasting life." We didn't spend much time memorizing the verse, but focused more on the phrase "one way, Jesus" that was incorporated into the activities. Brennan LOVED saying that phrase over and over again. And he's loved pointing out all the "one way" road signs when we're driving!

Here's our board set up for the week.

Brennan requested to the do the egg game again this week, so I put the letter Vs in the eggs and put two Vs in one of them.

He's gotten more interested in coloring recently, so he was excited to color the rectangle and triangle to make an arrow for "one way, Jesus!"

To make his 'V' words more interesting this week, we used a spatula to flip them up in the air. This was a huge hit!

He did all his 'V' tracing pages this week. And then scribbled on them after he was done.

This morning he asked to read his easy reader book. I had read it to him on Monday, but we hadn't touched it since then. It's a very simple read, but he read the entire thing by himself; only asking for help on the word "only" on the last page. I told him that word once and since then he's read this book over and over today independently. This kid seriously blows my mind!

He loved the song "One Way, Jesus!" this week too. I put the YouTube video up on the tv so we could watch and dance. He was super excited! I think might buy him one of the Hillsong Kids cds because he's such a music lover.

 

I ended up finding multiple versions of the song on YouTube and we watched several of them together. It makes my heart happy that he loves these songs we are learning. When we were reading his Bible the other night, I read part of the verse from John 3:16 and he immediately said, "That's a song" and remembered the song from the week we learned that verse. 

Here's one of the videos we watched:

Here's a video of Brennan reading the easy reader. Love it!


He finally got a haircut today as you can probably tell!
