Atom's latest passion is the Articles of Faith. It all started when we began having family night lessons to help Jet memorize (and review for Jumble and Minnie) the 13 Articles of Faith of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. (These are 13 short statements written by Joseph Smith that explain some of our basic beliefs.) A few years ago we got these cards that serve as flashcards or a matching game that have the Articles of Faith on them. So we have used the cards and also the songs on the Children's Songbook CD during family night to help Jet and to make it fun. We didn't anticipate that Atom would fall in love with these cards and the songs. Now his favorite passtime is to put on the music and flip through the flashcards while singing the songs. Or he has me hold the flashcards up one by one while he waves his music baton and sings the songs. Or he spreads all the cards out on the floor and plays a matching game with them. He's good at it, too. Since Atom is only three-years-old, we didn't expect him to be able to learn the Articles of Faith yet, but we were wrong. He's going to have them memorized before Jet.If you want to read the full text of the Articles of Faith, click here:

He's a genius, you know!
That's great! We just can't underestimate these little guys, can we?
I didn't get any of those kinds of kids. He's amazing.
Shellie--your kids are just as smart and amazing--just show it in different ways. He has an equal number of annoying quirks to go with the good qualities!
