Hannah, on the spot

This photo really has nothing to do with what I am about to write.

Hannah participated in her first Primary program today. Technically, she is a month and a half too young to be in Primary, but the Primary presidency asked if she would like to be a Sunbeam a year early because there was only one other child in the class at the time.
That said, she did a great job up on the stand, mostly just at saying her scripture over the mic. When it came time to sing, she stood there shifting her open mouth the way she does when she knows she has attention on her. She would look at me and smile and I would try to encourage her by mouthing the words to the songs. She didn't care. At least she stayed up there and stuck it out like a brave little Sunbeam.

Just for the record, Hannah knew every word to every song the kids sang, and there were many. I have heard her singing them when she's playing on her own, when perhaps she thinks I am not listening. The other day, while she was taking a small trash bag out to our hallway chute, She was BELTING OUT the words to "We Thank Thee Oh God For a Prophet." She loves the echo. I also have found her in the stairwell, even better acoustics, singing "Home".

Maybe next time when she hears the songs she knows so well, she will have the urge to sing. I'm still proud of my little blue mouthed girl.
