Our love for music has definitely rubbed off on our kids. They can sing the first verse of Come Thou Fount, Amazing Grace, Doxology, Stand Up for Jesus, Holy, Holy, Holy, There is a Fountain, and Jesus Loves Me (and a bunch of kids songs). We sing hymns with them before their nap and before bed at night, and they'll burst out into song at different times during the day too.
They can both say Genesis 1:1, Ephesians 6:1, Deuteronomy 6:5, the Lord's Prayer, and the first three questions from a children's version of a Baptist/Reformed catechism (something like this). We're using recommendations from the Truth and Grace Memory Book by Tom Ascol, which we love! They're able to memorize so much more than we ever would have dreamed for being barely two. The Lord has been good to allow me to stay home with the kids, which gives me time during the day to work with them on repetition. During our family devotions at night we'll typically read a story out of the Big Picture Story Bible, sing a few hymns of their choice, say all their memory verses and catechism questions, and then say the Lord's Prayer. Their minds are just soaking it all in!
