Primary Program

Today was the primary program in my Mom's ward and since Connor has been a visitor for a while he was invited to join them. Let's just say he did wonderfully and horribly. He was brave and had to qualms about getting in front of the microphone. He said his part clearly and loudly and held up a picture. He sang with gusto, although sometimes a little too much. However today he was the biggest wiggle worm I have ever seen. It was nice that he chose today, in front of the whole congregation to be so irreverant. He couldn't sit still and when he did he chose to chew on his tie, something he's never done before at least in front of me. The worst moment was right after the sunbeams said their parts and were going to their seats he found a toy truck, whoever allowed that on stage with four year olds is crazy. He got this contemplative look on his face that said, "Should I play with it or be good." He started to make the right choice and tried to hand it to the teacher but then got pushed down the line by the teacher as the other kids sat down and then he decided to just go with it. He then showed the toy to one of his friends and together they started driving the truck up the side of the wall. I about died! He redeemed himself somewhat when they sang the song, "Called to Serve." Connor loudly sang/shouted the words and became the voice that everyone could pick out of the group. He ended with a bang when he sand the last word, "King" half a second after everyone else and loudest and longest of all. We couldn't stop laughing! This boy is so adorable! I love him sooo much. I am so proud of him, even though his is sentenced to practicing his reverence this week so we can do better at that part. The best news is he gets to do it all over again in our primary program back home as soon as we get home. Hopefully we can be just as brave and happy but a little less wiggly for that one.

His part was, "I am Connor. I am a soccer player." This is the picture he held up. The sunbeams were trying to prove we are all different but all children of God. Then the sunbeams and nursery children sang "I am a Child of God" by themselves.
