amazing memory

Ethan (and probably all kids) has an amazing memory! I remember being able to quote huge chunks of movies and knowing all the lyrics off of a particular cd as a kid. Now I'm lucky if I can even remember if I've seen a particular movie, let alone what happened in it :)

We've tried to channel his memory into some useful areas, like Bible memorization. He loves it, and we've been blessed with some great resources through our church. He often asks to listen to his verses (we have a cd of scripture verses to songs for kids that we got at church along with flashcards!).

Here are a list of the verses that he's got memorized now:
Gen 1:1 - In the beginning God created the heaves and the earth
Proverbs 17:17 - A friend loves at all times
Phil 2:14 - Do all things without grumbling or questioning
Eph 6:1 - Children obey your parents in the Lord for this is right
James 1:17 - Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above
Rom 3:23 - For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God
Psalm 56:3 - When I am afraid I put my trust in you

Here's a video of me trying to get him to sit still and say a couple. Please excuse the nose-picking :)

And here are a few more fun pics from recent weeks
