Emma was so excited to give the scripture in primary. It took her about a week to be able to say the word "scripture" correctly. lol. We looked it up and would practice the scripture every night after family prayer. I thought she would be too shy, but she walked right up to the microphone and looked at me letting me know she was ready to give it. She read Psalms 82:6~ "I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High." she then said, "I am a child of God." She gave a big smile and then sat back down. 
I almost started crying right there. My little Emma is growing up so fast. I am so proud of her-singing in primary, and learning so much.My visiting teacher is the primary pianist and tells me that when the kids start singing, Emma gets up and starts dancing, and once she does, the rest of the Sunbeams have to start dancing. Emma and I had a little talk about singing instead of dancing, but that dancing and standing up was okay only when her primary teacher or the chorister told her it was okay. We will see how next week goes.
And poor Ellie, she has only made it through one time of nursery. It is hard to have her not like it because Emma was so excited and never had a problem with us leaving her in there. We will drop her off (now Andrey does and it seems to go over better) and our wonderful teacher in there, Jamie, tries to get her to calm down and play, but usually after an hour of her crying, she will bring her back. I hope Ellie will warm up to nursery soon.

Ah, the joys of having our kids make the transitions to primary and nursery, especially! I too felt pretty teary-eyed the day that Aubrey gave the scripture for the first time in Primary. It just amazes me how much she learns at such a young age still.
TOO cute!!!!!
