My son Joshua was just kinda standing there, like he'd forgotten the words. So I started mouthing them for him. He looks over at my wife and says at the top of his voice, "YOU SING TOO, MOMMY!!!"

Our program was two weeks ago. My favorite part was hearing the little ones who can barely talk coherently recite their part without any prompting.

I especially enjoyed the music this year. One nervous little guy threw up on the stand right before the program started; otherwise, the program went off beautifully. Hong Mei paid attention, was on her best behavior, and tried to sing. Flash did not hide behind the kid in front of him, he sang and said his talk. In all, a stellar day for the Bensons.

I have the greatest respect for music leaders and teachers who serve children with such love and devotion. They are truly the unsung heroes and heroines in the Church today.

That's why I was amazed today--- not one child even hesitated. Maybe they were under a spell? Brian. Thank you. We all need to feel appreciated. I'm going to write thank you notes to speakers and teachers! Geoff, yes, that’s almost normal. That’s why I was amazed today— not one child even hesitated. Maybe they were under a spell?

I love watching the three and four year-olds and making silent bets as to whether they will actually say anything at all when they come up to give their "talk." My son had practiced his one-sentence "talk" for a month, but he chickened out when he got to the microphone. We just had primary our primary program.
