Timmy and School

Timothy has really started enjoying school lately.  We are using My Father's World curriculum and we just finished the unit on the letter "A" and we learned about apples.  We also learned the bible concept "if I stay in Jesus I will bear much fruit."  Now, this is a very abstract idea and I am pretty sure he has no idea what it means, but at least I am sure he is listening. 

On Sunday morning in the sermon, the pastor spent some time talking about bearing fruit.  As soon as I heard him say it I looked at Timmy and he grinned.  Every time the pastor mentioned fruit Timmy would perk up and look at me.  I know he has no real idea of the true meaning, but at least he is making the connections!

On Monday we made applesauce.  Timmy enjoyed helping me turn the handle on the Apple Peeler/Corer/Slicer and he really enjoyed eating a "slinky apple".  After the apple sauce was finished I gave him a bite.  (He has never liked applesauce.)  He grinned and grimaced at the same time as he chewed and swallowed.  I said, "What did it taste like Timmy?"  He replied, "Much fruit, and I don't like it!"  Hah!!  What a kid!

I am thouroughly enjoying watching him learn.  I had forgotten what sponges kids are at this age!
