I was using the song, "Ain't it grand to be a Christian" to teach Skipper the days of the week...
"Ain't it grand to love your sister, ain't it grand?
Ain't it grand to love your sister, ain't it grand?
On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday
AND ALL DAY SUNDAY!
Ain't it grand to love your sister?"
Skeeter quickly pointed out that I told them not to use the word "ain't." Good point, Skeeter. :) Mommy was caught.
Anyway, now that the Blossoms are learning correct grammar, Skeeter often says to me, "Mommy, that was what sounded right!" Usually she has the correct answer. The importance of speaking correctly has become very obvious to me. Regardless of what her textbooks say, she is answering the questions based on what "sounds right." Somewhere, deep inside her brain, are all the words and sentence structures we've spoken to her... and that's what helps her figure out what sounds right.
I can take this whole thing a step further. I can preach and teach Christianity all I want, but what I do to her and model to her every day of her life will be what she falls back on. It will be what "sounds right." God give me grace to be the model You've called me to be.
