Primary Program...

Today was our primary program in church. Josh had a speaking part - "Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ first appeared to Joseph Smith". He's had is memorized for weeks. He frequently confused it with prayers.

On our way to church I asked Ryan if he thought Josh would be able to say his part. "I don't think he'll even sit up on the stand."

We got to church (30minutes early - a first for us!). I took Josh up to show him his seat. I actually had to sit with him for a few minutes. He wasn't too sure about it. But he said he was fine. So I went down. Josh had lots of fun waving hi to us and the grandparents.

Then sacrament meeting started. Josh started looking a little concerned. It was time for the primary program. Josh was in tears. I went up on stage to sit with him. He wanted to go sit with daddy. I convinced him to stay up. Songs were sung, kids did their parts.

Then it came time for Josh's part. He buried his head. It was up to me. I started his part. Half way through Josh started hitting me. He didn't want to do it and he didn't want me to do it either. I finished. Moments later, Josh started crying. He was now ready to do his part. Sorry, it was too late. Needless to say, we finished the program sitting down in the audience.

So thanks to the grandparents for coming to see me in the Primary Program. Luckily for them, Josh recited his part at dinner, in lieu of the prayer.
