Preston's Pledge of Allegiance

Preston, Preston, Preston! Oh how I love this little monkey. He is mischievous and sneaky, quiet yet social, loving and tenderhearted. And he is a mystery to me most of the time. I try to teach him the way I taught Dylan and he just doesn't learn the same way. He doesn't answer my questions or repeat things back very often so I am left wondering where he's at and worrying probably way too much about the little tyke. But...he is doing so well. His talking and vocabulary in general has taken off since we started home schooling. We do a devotional every morning before school. We have a song, prayer, pledge and often sing a patriotic song, we look at the calendar and say what day and month it is and then find the weather on our weather chart. We read a chapter out of the illustrated Book of Mormon, a story from the Friend, and then work on memorization (Articles of Faith, a scripture, a talk for church, poems, etc.) Anyway, Preston is more of less just along for the ride at this point. I don't push him too hard, partially because he's Preston and partially because he's 3. He often holds the flag for the pledge of allegiance and usually puts his hand over his heart too. The other day I was waiting for Dylan who had decided he NEEDED something (story of my life) before we could continue. Preston was already up holding the flag and just started reciting the pledge of allegiance. It's amazing how much kids pick up just listening to and observing us. I had to get it recorded, but he doesn't cooperate very well. This is as much as I could get. Then I decided I should get him doing his ABCs too. He does actually know them, but got a bit confused during the recording. Funny kid! Also, if you haven't heard his voices, it gives you a brief look into one of the three or four interesting voices he uses. Why? I don't know, but it is so cute!
