Primary Program

Today at church all of the kids ages 12 and under participated in a big performance for the rest of the congregation. Each kid got a chance to say a memorized line from the pulpit and they sang a bunch of songs. I've helped with lots of "primary programs" in the past as a teacher and leader, but this was the first time I got to watch my own kid perform. It was AWESOME! Amelia delivered her line like a champ, but the real thrill was watching her sing. She had a seat right in the front and we could see her the entire time. When the piano would start for each song she would stand up with the rest of the kids and then start to bob up and down and dance a little (no one else was doing that). Then, when the singing started she would open her mouth as wide as she could and BELLOW the words. She might have been the loudest kid in the group. She took the singing very seriously, and even if she wasn't sure of the words, she's keep singing anyway. It was hilarious. Mike and I couldn't stop laughing at her the whole time. I thought the whole thing would make her nervous, so I was a little worried about it this morning. Apparently I had nothing to fear! Afterward, tons of people came up to me to comment on her performance, and one woman told me that I need to get her an agent. I'm so amazed. She has a preschool Christmas Program next month, and I am definitely bringing the video camera.
