Reading scriptures

Last night we were having family scriptures and reading out of the Book of Mormon reader about when Alma is talking to his sons. Rachel was having a really hard time focusing for more than 2 seconds. Or for even 2 seconds. Usually asking her to point to someone in the pictures helps to get her to at least look at the book, so Jake said, "Where's Alma?" She pointed to him. Then he asked "Who's that?", pointing to Helaman (having just said Helaman's name 3 times while she was not paying attention).
Her response: Cortizone. (I'm not sure if she was trying to say Corianton, or Hydrocortizone, which we put on her eczema when she has it)
Jake: No that's Helaman. Can you say Helaman?
Rachel: No. I can't. I can only say Taco and Hammer!
Jake (trying to resume reading since she was looking at the page): Alma told Helaman...
Rachel: That's not Helaman! That's Taco!
Oh, the joys of scripture reading with a 2-year-old. :)
