Olivia has always loved to to be in charge. And to be responsible for a stack of papers. As soon as she could talk she would be carrying around old receipts saying "my papers, my papers."
Well one day I gave her an old Friend magazine to color or do whatever with. She told me she would like to use it to prepare a family night lesson. I told her to go for it, and let her do what she wanted. I didn't know what to expect.
All week she was carrying around this bucket that had her "family night lesson" in it. I didn't think she was really going to remember, but when Monday came around she had it all ready to go before Casey even got home.
She then sat us all down and had us take turns picking a piece of paper out of the bucket. (She had picked out pictures that represented primary songs she knew, for example a picture of a little girl getting baptized for "When Jesus was baptized, down in the river Jordan..." her favorite song.) She had carefully colored and cut each picture and knew exactly what song went with it. Then she lead us in the song using a spoon to conduct. She was so excited. And I was so impressed.
It was a good night to be a mom!
Brooklyn followed her lead and prepared a lesson the next week. ( I don't think Casey or I will have to prepare a lesson for awhile.)

Wow go Olivia! That was such a cute story. She is growing up!!!
Wow, I get behind quick! This is so cute! I should tell Kaleigh what they did and maybe I won't have to prepare lessons for a while either. :)
