BEATLE BRAIN

 

Jonah spends a LOT of time copying the names of Beatles songs.  He looks at an album song list, and then he writes list of songs on a paper.  

In church yesterday, with nothing available to copy from, he wrote this song list out.  This means he remembered the word spellings and/or sounded out the words.  Obviously his version of spelling and sounding out- haha.

But I am pretty impressed with this list!

However, his list showcases the other issue is one we have been dealing with during family Bible time at home and in also in church.  We have to continually remind Jonah to turn OFF his "Beatle Brain" and turn ON his "Bible Brain".  

The kid is obsessed with all things Beatles!  

He relates everything back to the Beatles.  For instance, with very sweet intentions, he wanted to talk to his former Sunday School teacher because he knew her mom had passed away recently.  So he went up to her and said "Eleanor Rigby".  She looked rather confused so I had to translate.  He was expressing his sympathy by using "Eleanor Rigby" because in the Beatles song, Eleanor dies and they sing about the minister and the funeral and the grave etc.  His heart was in the right place, but obviously there would have been a better choice of words to offer as comfort to his teacher...
