Anna will be four in April. She is very shy around most people and has a nurturing and kind heart. As I have said in a past post, she seems to have that teacher gene. This morning in church, we were sitting on the back row. This back row is against the wall. In the middle of the sermon she felt some need to stand up with her papers she received in Bible class and began teaching about the days of the weeks and how we should pray everyday. I motioned to her to be quiet so she continues quietly teaching using her papers and pointing to the wall behind her like she has something written on it. For the rest of the sermon she preached away (whispering of course) and even pointed out that we have to put money in the plate for God. When Andrew and all the other kids came back in from children's worship, she neatly put her papers down, and laid down and my lap and nearly fell asleep. I told her preaching can wear you out.
After lunch, she gets her papers out, brings a stool into the office, stands on it and starts teaching to Andrew and me. I noticed that she already has her mother's "Teacher look," and is very clear about what she is going to teach us, and how. Then teaches, and closes by telling us what she just taught us. How does a nearly 4 year old girl know how to set up a lesson plan? She either watches closely what her teachers do, or she just has a natural God given gift.
I will soon post about some of Andrew's new things.
