Gage is at the stage of development where he is comparing all the things in the world to his small world.
When we read our sight words, he'll read 'school'..."Just like my school!"
'church'...just like my church
'Mickey Mouse' or any of the characters..."just like on my tv and the big tv"
'dad'...just like my daddy...'mom'...just like you!
When we were listening to a talk in church, the speaker spoke about his family reading the scriptures and Gage said, "Scriptures? Just like our home when we read scriptures on my bed."
Whenever we pass a church, he'll comment that it's a church and they have a class just like his class.
We will pass the Temples in South Jordan and he loves to yell out, "I see the Temple!" and even knows the Statue of Moroni is on top when he sees pictures of it in books--just standing alone. When we pass the Jordan River Temple, we'll tell him it's my favorite Temple and he will say, "Mom, that's your favorite! You go there with daddy and you go there with me!"
When he sees a picture of Jesus, he'll says "It's Jesus Christ, Amen."
It's so much fun to see how he perceives the world and is really paying attention to every little detail of every situation.
It's also amazing and wonderful to see how he perceives the church and is taking everything in that he learns at church. He knows the songs and loves to sing them.
