Recently when Josh and I were walking, I made the comment “you reap what you sow.” Josh noticed Becca was listening and asked her if she knew what that meant. We then took a moment to talk about planting seeds and reaping a harvest: “when we plant a lettuce seed does a watermelon grow? Do apple seeds grow into grass?” etc. A little while later Becca asked for some apple seeds. We cut an apple open and Becca hurried off to plant the seeds in “her garden.” Then she asked if she could get an apple out of the fridge. A few minutes later I went into Becca’s “bear garden” to see the apple she was reaping from her sowing.

We are teaching Becca the books of the Old Testament using hand motions for each book. She is a fast learner, and it’s prompted a lot of good conversations about the OT. So far we’re up to Obadiah. These pictures are of Becca trying to teach Isaiah the OT books.

Last week Isaiah made his first venture out of the living room. I watched him go to the doorway and just stare into the unexplored territory. His first stop was the bathroom. Since then Isaiah has turned into a speedy little explorer. It’s so cute to see him move all about the house. Watch out world (and Becca)!
