Today the boys decided to bang on the piano for awhile (which I don't mind, because it's already out of tune, a little old and used, and it keeps them occupied.) I peeked in on them and Matthew had taken a hymnal, propped it open to "How Great Thou Art", and with proceeded to play with perfect form. It came out as a jumbled mess and he was singing "Jesus Loves Me", but it was still adorable! If only the camera had batteries......
Benjamin has been doing a very good job of stringing together words. Most of the time he says "no" with another word (usually repeating what I told him not to do) but he has constructed one sentence. It is "I miss Daniel." Daniel is his little friend from church that he plays with often. He will also say "I miss Papa (grandpa)" and "I miss Daddy." Matthew often recites a list of everyone that he misses and Ben seems to have picked up on it. It is the most darling little voice and I love hearing it! He has another pseudo sentence (No like it) that he uses at supper and when I give him plain milk. (I recently took away the chocolate because it's just getting too expensive and they don't need the extra sugar, although a friend of mine justifies it by saying that we're adding vitamins to the milk.)
We had our second night of Tiny Trackers and we learned a few things:
1. Put the three's where we can reach them during story time.
2. Have an extra craft ready.
3. Don't ask if they need a drink or need to go potty: they all will every time.
Otherwise, it was lots of fun and all four of our little guys said their verse!

They learn verses and hopefully reach them down the road, but sometimes you wonder if you are reaching them. Sounds like you are having fun, and learning yourself of the do's and don'ts.
So cute - Eóin loves the piano too - it's just a huge big noisy toy to him :-)
Number 3 on your list of what you learned doing Tiny Trackers really cracked me up!!! Too true!! hehe.
