The Sunday after we got back from our trip to South Beach was the annual Children's Sacrament Meeting Primary Program. This was a special day for lots of reasons.
#1) Grandma and Grandpa Lee were there (even though it wasn't planned).
#2) Jake was going to be accompanying the primary children as they sang the song "I Am A Child of God". This was not a simplified song, but the version that adults play. Not to mention he was playing two verses of it while the children sang and while a violin played along, too.
#3) Mrs. East, Cooper's Kindergarten teacher and Mrs. Garrett, the boys' music teacher were attending.
Mrs. East and Mrs. Garrett both made it without any difficulties and we were tickled pink they would come and support our kids as well as the other students they know from our ward.
Jake's piano part was early in the program. (Thank goodness. I get so nervous for my kids.) And he did SO GREAT!!!! (I think Grandma and Grandpa cried they were so proud). I couldn't stop smiling. Yea for him!! Man, that takes courage. If he was nervous, he sure didn't show it. I'm so grateful he's getting experiences to share his talent at such a young age. Cooper had a speaking part and said it perfectly memorized. Jake nailed his part, too.
It was a wonderful program! We're so grateful for the primary teachers and leaders who spend hours and hours helping us teach our children the doctrine of the gospel and helping them to learn to feel the spirit through the words, testimonies and music of Primary.

That is incredible that Jake played the piano for the singing kids. Playing for others to sing is definitely the hardest thing to do... Way to go guys! That is so cool that their teachers came!
That's pretty amazing that the teachers were there. Did you invite them? I can't believe Jake was able to accompany too. That is so great.
Aw, that story makes a piano teacher so happy! Go Jake!!
