Max and the Primary Program--2011

Every year the children of our church do a program at church in front of everyone. They get to teach us what they have been learning throughout the year. They sing the songs they have learned. I have always looked forward to it. And it was especially exciting to have my own small person to see. I was called to work in the primary shortly before the program so I didn't get to sit with the congregation and watch, but it was still fun to be WITH the kids.
So Max memorized his line and said it without any problem (even though he was at a microphone in front of a whole audience of people)! Go Max!
I did sit by Max to help reduce his wiggliness. I don't know if I helped or hindered but he did pretty good.
While practicing his part, "the scriptures teach me about Jesus", Max told me he wanted to have a longer part and proceeded to add to it, the things he thought he should say. I just laughed and told him maybe next year. He also told me he wanted to have a chance to sing all by himself like some of the (older) kids. Maybe another year, my little ham.
He was lucky enough to have both sets of grandparents come to watch him and his Aunt Stacey.
It was a blessing to see/hear the kids share their feelings about Jesus, the scriptures and the importance of doing what's right. Some of the older kids wrote their own parts, from their hearts and they did an amazing job as well.
Here are a few pics from the weekend. I'm sad, I've fallen off my constant photographing wagon.
