Milestone: First Talk

Soren adores his teacher, Brother Lanier, and he is super nervous about speaking in church.  So, for the 2012 Primary Program (and Soren's first talk in sacrament meeting), Soren and I wrote a talk that he could give with Brother Lanier.  I don't want to loose it so I am posting it here.

SOREN: My name is Soren and this is Brother Lanier, my teacher.

BROTHER LANIER: We are going to talk about following Jesus.

SOREN: I can choose the right by following Jesus. Jesus gave us his love. I can follow his example by giving my love to him.

BROTHER LANIER: We can also follow his example by giving our love to each other.

SOREN: I love Japanese characters even though they are really hard to learn.

BROTHER LANIER: That's good but Jesus showed love for other people. Who can you show love for?


SOREN: I can show love to everyone. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

By the way, the presentation of it went really well.  He was a lot more confident in the practice than he was in the actual program but he was brave and read the whole talk.  Go Soren!

I was getting dressed when it suddenly got very quiet out in the living room. Soren had been contentedly babbling a moment ago and now it was silent. I'm sure you can imagine me, rushing half-panted down the hall, hoping nothing horrible had happened. At our last visit, my pediatrician filled my mind with horror stories of infant death; now gruesome scenes were flipping through my mind like a slide show on speed. Or like the scary tunnel in "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory". Expecting a disaster, I was relieved when this was what I saw in the living room: The night before, I'd left a slice of left-over cake on the arm chair. We'd had company and Soren had been in bed. When I'd forgotten it at the end of the evening, it had been far from my son's greedy grasp. But this morning, when it was still left behind, it was within easy baby reach and too unusual for him not to explore. No wonder he was so quiet! He'd been experimenting with an unk...

* I thoroughly enjoyed reading Skyward. * Soren beat Megaman 1 without dying. * Carl was swamped with art homework.  His teacher assigned him 5 mini-paintings, 30 gradients, and 1 shading. * Sven finished reading the Frog and Toad  treasury. * Leif talked a lot about wanting to make a friend. * Richard got to listen to lots and lots of read-a-louds.
