Journaling

Our kids have been keeping scripture journals for several months. We finally took out the pages to scan them so we have a digital copy. While scanning them I read through what they have been writing (since Talmage does his on his own and I never read it). Sometimes it's very repetitive, but other times it was very surprising! Sandra's isn't that fun to read yet, but you get a few from Grant and lots of Talmage. I think the spelling is cute and it's amazing what things they think about and want to write in their journals!

There are different sections on the journal page they fill out: Scripture - summary, or some lines of what they read, Journal - for the day's events, Thankful for and Please help - to help them remember things to say in their prayers at night (also good to write down anyway.)

Grant's are mostly things from different dates and Talmage's are all from what he wrote for those sections on that day. I tried to keep all the spelling the same as was in their journals :). I hope you enjoy seeing what goes on inside little boys minds!!

I just love it! I love the Christmas post because that is all he wrote about Christmas. He never wrote about what he received, just all the things he was doing for everyone else! It was really touching to realize that he wasn't focused on his presents, but on giving to others! Kids are amazing! I love that they are writing this stuff down in their journals while they are young... maybe they will keep the habit into their adult years!
