Every night when we ready scriptures together as a family before bed, we always read a couple of stories from this condensed childrens' Book of Mormon book. Austin absolutely loves these stories, and what's truly remarkable is that he not only knows all the stories (of course, the shortened, summed-up versions), he can finish the sentences in the book. He also likes to ask questions, like "did the Liahona work when they weren't obedient?" or "how come Laman and Lemuel were bad?" Some interesting and complex questions and answers for a 3 year old!!! I love the fact that he loves to read the scriptures and can pretty much sit still while we read a page or so from "the real ones". He even reminds us to read them when we're getting home late from somewhere and getting ready for bed! I thank the Lord each day for such special spirits who are so good and innocent and who remind us of what's really important in life.
