My Little Gospel Scholar
When I was given a little slip of paper notifying me of Ashton’s upcoming speaking assignments in Primary, I thought it had to be a joke! He’s just a baby! He just learned how to talk! He was supposed to give the scripture one week and then a couple weeks later a full-on TALK! I was kind of excited, thinking I would have him memorize a scripture and blow everyone away. Well, he IS 3 1/2 and wasn’t interested in it at all so I ended up whispering to him on the spot. He did such a great job, though. I was sooooo proud of him!
He wore his suit to give his talk and he insisted on getting dressed all by himself, of course….
Since I helped Ashton with the scripture, I made Josh help him with the talk. They both did such a good job : ) . What an exciting milestone! I can’t believe how big my baby boy is!!!
Reverence is More Than Just Quietly Sitting…
Reverence is More Than Just Quietly Sitting…It’s never, ever opening your eyes no matter how long the prayer is.
Josh and I weren’t being reverent at all because once Josh happened to open his eyes and notice Alex in front of him, he nudged me. We didn’t close our eyes again during the prayer. We tried to suppress our laughter while snapping these photos. (Yes, we know it is completely against the rules but can you blame us????) It was a looooooong prayer and Alex never opened his eyes.
I must say that Alex is THE sweetest little boy in THE world. Oh, he’s my nephew, by the way. My sister, Angie, has taught her kids well and they are great examples for my kids to follow (okay, okay! and for Josh and myself to follow too).
