After a few weeks, he could do the whole psalm himself. The faithful repetition of a liturgical life does produce results. Now, if only I could get the "faithful" part down as we attempt the liturgical life!

I also appreciate icons more as a parent, as I've used them to explain Christ's life to my 3- and 4-year-old daughters within the last week.
