Diving Boards & Bible Verses

Lucas hit a couple of milestones today. He jumped off the diving board all by himself! It took a little while for him to warm up to doing it alone and he still wanted someone in the water to "catch him", but we just let him jump near us. His puddle jumper helped him float right up to the top. Way to go buddy!!!

Ready

Set

Go!

On a more serious note, he also learned his first Bible verse today. We were in church and he recited and memorized the Responsorial Psalm. "The seed that falls on good ground will yield a fruitful harvest." Mommy was so proud!! I have been working on taking Lucas to church more often and he is now excited to go. He gets his holy water, makes the sign of the cross, and waits for Father to bless the bread and wine. He is starting to recite prayers and asks me frequently when certain parts of the mass are going to happen. He talks constantly in a whisper, but doesn't act up much. He and Adam are also getting much better at participating during our meal prayers. I think we have started a great foundation to start building on at preschool this fall. The most important gift my Mom taught me was my faith in God and I'm excited to start seeing that grow in my sons!
