Yesterday in preschool we made a pretend pumpkin pie and told a story about "Nephi" (the dog) inviting us all over to his house to have some. We acted out every detail--from the phone calls to the knocking on the door, to the passing out of the pie. The object of the lesson was to reinforce the virtue of kindness because the host soon finds that they are one piece short of feeding all of his guests.
I asked the question, "What should Nephi do since there aren't enough pieces for everyone? Mommy didn't get a piece of pie."
The answer, I thought, would be for Nephi to give up his piece of pie or share his with Mommy. But Easton had a higher way...
"I know," he responded. "I'll share my piece of pie with Nephi so he can give his piece to Mommy."
Is it any wonder we are to become as a little child?
I look on and praise him for his kindness and then turn inward, realizing I need another review of Mosiah 3:19 and 3 Nephi 11:37-38 later this evening. And perhaps on a daily basis.

That is so cute! Our children seem to teach us more than we teach them! That is how we have always felt!
