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!!!
Josh is in putting Ashton to bed for the fourth time tonight. He left the door open and I’m listening to Josh sing Ashton songs and I’m LAUGHING MY BUM OFF!!! Here’s how the first one went:
“I hope they call me on a mission, when I have grown a foot or two. (I am thinking,”Oh, that is so cute that he’s singing that song!”) I hope by then I will be ready to teach and preach and work as missionaries do.
I hope that I can share the gospel with those who want to know the truth. I want to be a missionary………long pause…..to teach and preach and work as missionaries do…”
Oh man, I had to stifle my laughter by shoving my face into the bean bag. Then on to the next song…
“Called to serve Him Heavenly King of Glory………chosen heir to….witness…..for the King….(long pause and me laughing into the bean bag)…”
He gave up on that one and went on to “I am a Child of God” which he also couldn’t remember! Oh man, I am laughing/crying as I’m typing this, I can’t see anything! It’s 1 AM, maybe I’m just tired.
He just came out and asked why I was laughing. He told me that after those songs failed, he sang two whole verses of a Beastie Boys song he used to sing all the time. We just sat there cracking up on the bean bag. Josh’s next calling should be Primary Chorister. Can you just see him up there, making excited faces at the kids trying to get them to sing, doing the good ol’ ladder leading? You know what I’m talking about, the up and down scale leading?
