silly koy

koy is such a silly boy especially when he gets around his friends...he loves to make people laugh and i think that is such a good quality but he also has a hard time knowing when the appropriate times to be silly are-like not in church!
last week the neighbor boy-justin (above in the picture) came over and asked if he could play and koy told him "no, i'm grounded" and justin asked "why are you grounded?" and koy responded "i was bad-like my mom!"

this made me laugh we had a family home evening lesson on reverence (again!) and we talked about putting off the "natural man" and yielding to the enticings of the Holy Spirit...so i told koy that i was like him that even as a grown up (and i should know better) i have a hard time being reverent -i told him a few of the many times when i was not reverent : in college i got the giggles in our dorm prayer and i made my roommate cry because i was so silly, and i told him that in relief society i have been shushed before, and in my aerobics class i've been asked to quit talking...i said when i get around my friends i get silly too when it's not appropriate and forget to be reverent and respectful. putting off the "natural man" is hard, so i hope he got more than he was just bad like his mom!

Way to go Jaci for explaining things and using your own examples!

Kids do learn by our example! But I do remember in aerobics talking you into doing a back walkover maybe choosing better influences should be the next topic of discussion! Love you!
