Ben has a tendency to pick one area of interest and obsess over it. He has gone through lots of phases, some lasting longer than others . . . diggers, dinosaurs, Thomas, Star Wars, etc. His latest love is the scriptures (score!). A few weeks ago we decided that we needed to start having a regular scripture study with our kids, so we broke out the Book of Mormon Readers and the accompanying DVD. This isn’t the first time we have read/watched them with the kids, but something just clicked with Ben this time. He took his Book of Mormon Reader to bed with him that night and stayed up to read the whole thing. The next day he started with the Old Testament Reader. They have become his books of choice for bedtime reading. Last night, Nate went down to check on him and he had both his Book of Mormon Reader and his real Book of Mormon open on his bed. He was looking up each of the scripture references from the reader and reading it directly from the scriptures. I don’t know how long this will last, but I love that he is so interested in learning all of the scripture stories. With his little sponge brain and amazing memory, it should give him a good knowledge base for the rest of his life.
Yesterday in Primary he leaned over and whispered to me “When I grow up, I’m going to be weird and name my kids after prophets from the Book of Mormon.” Glad to see he has a plan.
Again with the rattiest of all ratty t-shirts. He really does have a whole drawer full of pajamas. I can’t explain him.

I remember when Ben didn't even want to go to church! That's awesome he is so into the scriptures, most adults don't even do what he's doing!
That's awesome! I can't wait to see what Ben loves next and what he's like when he's older!
I like Ben's t-shirts. I wish I could have been around in Primary to hear him say that!
Ok, the similarities are starting to freak me out as well! Britton read all 4 scripture readers by himself not too long ago and continues to love them. He is also very obsessive about whatever phase he is in i.e. Thomas, Scooby Doo and his latest is Star Wars: The Close Wars.
That is awesome! I found your blog through Claudy's. Your kids are so cute. Callie
