Obedience and Cookies



Last night for Family Home Evening we had our lesson on Obedience. It's a word not in most 2 year olds vocabulary! And oh did we need it last night! Most of the time, Em actually obeys fairly well but lately she has started to completely ignore her daddy and I. She knows we're talking but heck if she's going to listen to us!
So for FHE we talked about Nephi building the boat (her all time favorite picture in her little Book of Mormon scripture book) and sang "When my mother calls me, Quickly I'll obey..." We sang it over and over and over.... Then we played Simon Says.
For our activity/treat we made cookie pizzas and decorated them. Em was paying attention during the lesson because while we made cookies together she kept saying how she needed to obey so she could have good cookies. Smart girl! The cookies were yummy and by the end we had much chocolate frosting all over! Em got to be creative, learned how to obey and ate cookies - I'd say it was a successful family night!
