SunBee

Sunday was David's first Sunday as a Sunbeam in Primary.  He was a little apprehensive to go at first and rightly so since we were visiting another ward.  I stayed with him for about 5 minutes and then snuck out.  He had a great time cutting and glueing some pictures.  Their lesson was about taking care of our bodies.  During sacrament meeting I sang "Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam" to him to get him to sit still.  Through out the remainder of sacrament meeting and periodically now I hear "sunbee, sunbee, sunbee for him".  It is too dang cute.  Dustin and I laugh every time we hear him sing it.
Now for any of you that are curious....Our church is divided into smaller units called wards.  We meet for a block of 3 hours divided into 3 meetings.  Sacrament meeting is the entire congregation, Sunday School is for the members 12+ and divided by age until 18 and then the adults meet together to learn.  The third hour is divided into Relief Society for the women and Priesthood for the men.  Primary is the meeting for the kids 3-12 and they meet for the two hours of Sunday School & Relief Society/Priesthood.  Primary is divided by ages.  The Sunbeam class is the first class that the kids experience in Primary at the age of 3.
