today was our annual primary presentation for the kidlets. once a year the children run the main meeting where they sing songs and read a small paragraph (or sentence, depending on their age) to tell about our beliefs and what they have learned during the year. it is so cute, especially when there is always one or two that are either over excited or refuse to participate. cute that is, until yours is one of them. ugh. this year joseph again refused to do his part, but not only that, wouldn't even get out of his seat! he seriously just sat up the front the whole time looking miserable and in the end actually crying. he is super smart, but super shy and in the end just wanted me. :( but i guess we still have time, madeline's first two went much the same.
madeline got up and completely nailed her part.
"i love it when we read scriptures together as a family. we learn more about jesus christ and the things he taught. i like to listen to other peoples testimonies so that my testimony can grow. this year i was baptised which has allowed me to become closer to the saviour."
and this is what joseph was meant to say. i know he knew it well and was ready as he had rattled it off this morning to dougs dad who wasn't well enough to come and watch.
"my favourite story in the new testament is when jesus was born. i like that the wise men came to visit him and bought him gifts. we can give a gift to the saviour by obeying his commandments."
ughhhh. maybe it will be third time lucky with this kid.
but no matter what happened... i am lucky to have two happy kids who love to laugh.
i love these little monkeys.
