For about a good year or so we have been getting together as a family, and having Family Home Evening, I'm very proud of this, and what made me think of this? Well tonight after FHE (we do it weekly...sometimes we miss Mondays ;) ), Maija said "can we do it again?!!" She LOVES family home evening, and I have the children's song book, and the new nursery manual to thank for that. Maija loves to sing, so as long as we have an opening song, and a closing song, she loves whatever we do. I'm sharing this, because for the longest time, we had no clue how to go about doing FHE with a little baby/toddler.
The nursery manual has REALLY simple lessons, that make gospel principles easy to teach, and you can download the coloring pages from the church's website, and print them to color during FHE. Maija is a Sunbeam now so tonight, we tried something new we read an article from the friend, and she really liked that.
The Church's songbook is pretty awesome, if you are like me, and don't know too many of the primary song, then you can go online, and listen to them, and learn them with your little ones.
By the way, by no means think that our FHEs are perfect, generally at least two out of three people are doing summersaults, and we are pretty much the most off key family EVER, but the fact that Maija loves that time, just makes me a little too happy for words...please if you guys have any FHE ideas that work for your family with little ones, please share them under comments, I will really like to try out new things
Peace out.

Have her help out with the lesson, whether it be holding the pictures or repeating parts of a story after you. My kids relly like that, on top of picking their favourite songs!
