Tonight I got out the Bible we got AJ for Easter and we started what I hope to be our NIGHTLY Bible time. The Bible we got is AMAZING! It is called My First Hands On Bible and looks like this:
Let me tell you, this is so easy to read and fun! I love it! I high suggest it! I pulled out the Bible and I explained to the kids this would be a nightly thing. We are going to focus on one story for a few days before we move on to the next. I set an alarm in my phone to remind me to do this story time every night. I am sure it will come naturally after a few weeks, but it's new right now and we need the reminder. I really want this to become a nightly thing. As they get older it will change but the point is to spend time everyday talking about the Lord and praying as a FAMILY.
The kids seems to really enjoy this time but it is going to take some time to get them to understand this is a time to show respect and listen. I want them to have fun with this and enjoy it but I also want them to be able to sit and really engage in what is being said. That part is going to take some work but the activities in the this bible really help.
I will update on this in a few weeks when I find out how long we will focus on each story and stuff like that. It is going to take some trial and error and some research before I find out what works for us.
