Primary Program

Today Max participated in his first primary program.  The primary kids sang on mother's day and father's day but today they sang and spoke for a full 45 minutes.  Max had a small speaking part.  We were really unsure on how he would do.  Max has just started paring words.
It was his classes turn and they all rushed the mic.  Max wiggled his way to the front and stood on the stand to get close to the mic.  "Huggie" he announced as his voice carried through the church. (Max really likes hugs and usually says huggie when he wants one.) Then his teacher fed him a few words of his part.  There was a pause but Max just smiled and looked at all the people in the congregation.  She gave him the line again, " I feel close to heavenly father"... "close father",  Max said."When I"..."When I"..."Say my prayers"....."Say my prayers".  And he was done.
Christie, Jim, Curtis and I where all in tears.  Our sitter Annie, who was helping Max to be reverent on the stand, signaled that her mom was crying too.  Latter, after the meeting ended, I found out at least 5 others who love Max where crying with us. Annie told me he never says his lines when they practice so we were completely surprised when he did so well in the actual program.
Way to go Max!  We love you and we are so proud of your accomplishments.
