Last week, Roderic came home from church very excited about a story he was told in Nursery. He has brought it up all week long. Yesterday, I told him that we had a movie that has that story on it (Finding Faith in Christ) and we could watch it. He was disappointed that in the movie, Christ didn't put his arm straight out like he was taught at Nursery, but put his arm to the square instead. (His attention faded soon after that scene because that is all he wanted to watch. As soon as the whole movie ended, he asked to watch it again.)
Tonight, as Roderic was in charge of the lesson, he pulled out the picture "Stilling the Storm" (#214 in the Gospel Art Picture Kit) and told us the story - in all of the glory of one sentence. "The boat is trying to sink and Jesus calms the sea with his arm like this." When we asked what Jesus teaches us by this story he repliled: "Be nice, be cheerful, be prayerful, be a lesson."
So if you're ever wondering if kids are listening during the lesson in Nursery, Susie & Tim, YES Roderic does (sometimes).

Hey, thanks for putting my link on your blog. Do your sisters blog? Do you know their links?
That is hilarious. I could tell that Roderic was listening because he sat completely transfixed as I told that story. But it's always funny to hear what they actually come away with from the lessons I teach. Sometimes it's way off, but at least it's a start, right?
That's cute! Funny how they hang onto little details like that.
