Yesterday was our ward's primary program for the year. I was the Primary 2nd Counselor...until yesterday when I was released.
To start the program we had the Senior Nursery sing "I Am A Child of God." Cade, Savannah and Luke sang it and behind them the Sunbeams stood and helped sing too. I had practiced the song with Luke once before church and once the night before that. He knew almost half of the words.
I was so excited to see Luke sing in Sacrament for the first time ever.
The three nursery kids stood up front, Luke in the middle. Cade and Savannah stood still and sang but Luke...he mimicked Sister Lazenby; chorister. Near the end of the song he stopped waving his arm around as he sang and started marching his feet (but quietly). He's adorable! I looooved watching him sing in sacrament! I am so excited for the future when Luke becomes old enough to perform duets and family musical numbers. I imagine that in a year he will be getting old enough to start that.
What is new with Tiberias...he has five teeth! His 2nd top one was been slowly getting longer. Then a third bottom tooth snuch in and grew fast the last few days.
A week ago we put away the high chair. Tiberias is old enough to sit at his kids table or in his booster chair at the big table every time. Whenever we are all eating a meal at one time we sit at the dining table and eat as a family. With the boys eating every two hours sometimes they don't eat when we eat. Those times Ster and I watch some of a tv show or movie and eat on the couch.
Last Thursday morning Sterling and I left the boys on a two day trip. Lachoneus and Tiberias stayed home with our friends Ben and Kasie Krage. Ty loves Ben because he's playful and he's a man (like Ty's daddy). However, Ben was gone (at work and watching football with the young men in our ward) a lot during those two days. Kasie took care of the boys and even had their dog Cupcake over for a while...my boys looove dogs.
Ty was sad when we left Thursday morning. But both boys were brave and did well the two days their parents were away from home. Kasie and Ben said that our boys are extremely well behaved and are a joy. I know it's true. Ben said he hopes that when they have kids some day their kids will be 1/3 as well behaved as our boys are.
Luke went to school Thursday. And Kasie loved how much Ty sleep (2-3 good naps) each day.
Sterling and I went to the Switzerland temple and then stopped for some sight seeing in Milan, Italy on our way home. Friday evening we returned. I was so excited to come home and see my boys. When I walked into the door Tiberias' eyes swelled up with tears ...I think he realized how much he missed us. Then he started running...to Kasie. He was use to her being the one to hold him for a few days. lol. He stopped before he reached her and realized it was really his mommy he wanted. So he ran to me. :)
It was only two days but now Tiberias is afraid if I am not right next to him or holding him that I'm going to leave him again. I took him to a baby shower at the Mangles during the weekend and he was so afraid. He wanted me to hold him the whole time.
Tiberias still hates baths. There have been a few periods of time that Ty has enjoyed baths but for most of his life he has hated them. I've tried having a heater on in the bathroom when it's colder and I've tried singing songs while he's in the bath. I've tried to make it comfortable and warm and fun but he hates it. As soon as I put him in the bath now he refuses to sit and just cries.
Tiberias has started liking to be read to. A few weeks ago he would not sit still for a book and only wanted to feel them. Now he brings me books and wants to be read to.
