I'm thankful for Church... and teachers for my children

I have certainly had my share of teachers (for my children) over the years. I enjoy hearing what each of the children "learned today in Primary" or 'Young Women's or Sunday School Classes. Last week there was a really cute one however. Bill ended up stuck (partly because they had no 2nd helper, and partly because Liam wouldn't let him leave...), but got to see and hear what went on in class. They were learning about the First Article of Faith. http://scriptures.lds.org/a_of_f/1We Believe in God the Eternal Father, and in His Son Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost. By the end of class Liam was telling us he had learned about God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost. the way he said it was just so darn cute!!!! The girls of course all got a very big kick out of it! ;-) They kept asking him to get him to say it over and over again.
('D' does such a good job of writing down how her little man says some words, it is so cute and I can hear how he says it... For me, it's really hard to capture how to spell things out so you could hear the intonation and everything, about how Liam says things. It's not just the words themselves but the WAY he says it as well. I want to be able to remember all of these cute things.)
Anyway, after saying it over and over, he sort of changed things a bit. If any of you have seen the more recent movie of Alvin and the Chipmunks, (which I have, unfortunately about a million and one times...), Liam then spouts out with Hoooly Ghost, with the same intonation of how Alvin says, Hoooly Nuts! on the movie. I was VERY glad that he dropped that after just a few times!!!!!!!! It just didn't show the reverence and respect and spiritual nature of what he'd been taught that day in nursery class!
Anyway, today I'm grateful for good, wonderful teachers who take the time to love and teach my children.
