1. driving to church, we encouraged the girls to each recite their parts. L and A were flawless, E started (with the usual sneaky looking grin) and A tried to prompt her. E got mad, yelled at her sister, sister yelled back and we ended the brief rehearsal.
2. Papa and Grammy surprised us! They were waiting at the chapel, having come to hear the program. The kids scrambled onto their laps for cuddles and kisses through the first portion on the meeting. Grammy whispered to E that she was so excited about the program and had a special surprise for the girls if they sang so Grammy could hear. E immediately launched into "You Are My Sunshine", despite the quiet reverence throughout the chapel. It took repeated attempts to shush her and curb her eagerness.
3. Husband sat on the front row with his class of 3-4 year olds. Mostly he refereed an ongoing wrestling match between two of the kids (including E), most of which took place on his lap. When it was E's turn, she spoke her part so adorably and clearly, asking one of the teachers to prompt her. Immediately after the program, she repeatedly recited her part with no prompting. I knew she could, I think she only asked for help because all the other kids did.
4. I sat with my class of 5-6 year olds, including A. They are one of the better behaved classes (if I do say so myself) and it was mostly uneventful. A recited her line perfectly and I was most proud of one of my super shy kids who struggles with severe anxiety. Not only did he come to sit with me on the stand, he sang along intermittently and even agreed to do his speaking part, surprising not only me and the presidency but even his parents.
5. L sat with her class and was a perfect angel. (She might be nervous or shy or possibly showing off for the boy next to her whom I think she has a crush on. I caught her holding hands with him during our Primary practice as an extended "sharing the arm rest".)
