Today was a HUGE payoff day for parenthood, one that I have eagerly anticipated for over three years now. Today the primary stood up in sacrament to sing the musical number, and Olivia got to go with them!
She saw the other children walking up to the stand, and eagerly said “I can go! I can go by myself.” Without any help, she proudly walked up on to the stand (she went all the way over to the far side though), pushed her way through the kids to the front, where her nose barely reached above the banister, and sang with all the children “I love to see the temple.” She was very proud of herself, and I was SOOOOO proud of her.
