One night for family night we decided to talk about bearing your testimony. Trevin had noticed in church that different people got to go up to the mic and talk and he wanted to as well. So the next night we talked about Abinadi sharing his testimony, and being brave, etc. Then we each took turns bearing our testimony to each other. Trevin did great and so did Cheyenne. At the end we reviewed the Abinadi picture and let the kids tell us the story. Cheyenne pointed to King Noah and said "That's a bad guy." Then she pointed to Abinadi and said "That's Abina guy!" Close enough right!?
Trevin loves to be on the boat and pays close attention to all of the rules. The kid remembers everything. A couple of weekends ago we were up at the lake for "family camp" (I'll make a separate post about that). We were enjoying breakfast and watching the boats dock at the marina and head out on to the lake. Trevin turns to Gage and said "Look Dad all those boats are going slow past the boobies." We all jerked our heads around and were a little surprised. Gage was the one to ask Trevin what he said. Trevin looked a little timid and said "They go slow by the boobies." We all wondered what Trevin could see that we were missing down at the marina. But after a minute Trevin said "They have to go slow past them, then they can go super fast!" That's when we realized that Trevin meant BUOYS. We have gone to the lake a couple of times this summer, enough that Trevin recognizes the buoys and knows that when you are inside the buoys you have to go slow then when you pass them you can go fast. We went boating with a friend last week and Trevin told the husband, "You see those boobies, when we pass them we can go fast!" He looked really confused and so I told him he meant buoys and everyone had a good laugh. It makes for an awkward situation, hopefully with a little more practice Trevin will be able to say "bouys" until then, we'll enjoy the laughs!
