Sunbeams

Today was William's first day of primary. He is now a sunbeam! In our first married ward there was one couple who had a sunbeam age boy and a nursery age girl and they were the oldest ones in the ward! It was funny to reflect that we would be that couple now.

Naturally, we had to take some pictures of how cute he looked on his first day of primary. They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and let me tell you, this beholder thought he was the cutest darn kid in the ward, possibly the city or the state.

Doing his version of the Charlie Brown. So excited for sunbeams!
And my personal favorite. A completely typical silly Will face.

One funny thing about all of this was that as I was telling Will all the things that would happen now that he is big enough for sunbeams, I mentioned that when all the kids go up on the stage to sing he will be able to go up and sing with them. Apparently in his head that meant that sunbeams=going up on the stage. For the last year or so Chris and I have been going in to sing with the sunbeams for the first 5-10 minutes to get some wiggles out after sacrament meeting, so we did that today, and when we got up to leave William tried to come with us. I told him he needed to stay and he said, "But I want to go to SUNBEAMS!" I explained that this was sunbeams, and Chris decided to stay in with him a little longer. After the lesson they let the kids play with toys, so Chris decided to leave, and as he was walking out, William said "But Mom said that we were going to go up on the stage!"

Apparently, despite the disappointment of not going onto the stage, he had a really good time, and even got to hold one of the pictures during singing time. Lets just hope they do a primary musical number soon, because I have a feeling that he is going to ask to go on the stage every single week until they do.

Oh you always beat me to posts- I was thinking of doing one of Hailey being a sunbeam :) Isn't it crazy they aren't babies at all anymore- we got to be in primary with Hailey (we teach the year older) and it was so fun to see her being a little girl. Those pictures are too cute! Congratulations William!

I think I'd have to agree he is one of the cutest kids ever! I love his outfit. Going to primary is such a big step!

What a studmuffin! William is an adorable Sunbeam! It was fun to see all our new Sunbeams at Primary yesterday. Logan is going to be almost 4 when he finally gets to be a Sunbeam since he is a January b-day...that seems so far away, but I'm sure it will come fast! I hope all is going well for you guys!
