Liam, My Sweet Sunbeam

Today, Liam had his first experience talking in Primary. It wasn't a full blown talk, just the 6th Article of Faith, but he did such a cute job. On Monday we tried to learn the song for our Family Home Evening. The boys did well, but Nathan and I wondered how much they'd remember the next day. The following evening we tried to sing it a few times with the boys and Liam said, "Just let me sing it!" We agreed and he sang it perfectly, except for leaving out the word "pastors". I guess he got his memory from Nathan's side (because I have none). By the 3rd day he had it nearly perfectly. Each day we sang it. Today he stood up and without anyone's prompting, he recited it perfectly. I honestly didn't know a Sunbeam was capable of it. There are a lot of big words in there: "We believe in the same organization that existed in the primitive church, namely: apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth." He half sang it and it was really cute. I am so proud of him.

Obviously, this is not a picture of Liam in primary. Actually this was a week or two ago, after church. We decided to go to the park and Liam decided he was fishing for crocodiles. (He told me he caught one---then held up his stick with a bunch of grass stuck on the end.)
