I don't know how it happened, but my lil' boy is now a Sunbeam. Is that possible? Is he really already 3? Actually, he's 3 1/2. In our church, the little ones go to Nursery until the January after they turn 3. They begin nursery when they are 18 months old. They sing songs, learn simple lessons, eat snacks, and play with toys...all while their parents go to their Sunday school classes and church meetings. Then they graduate to primary the January after they turn 3. Those 3 year olds are called Sunbeams. And that is what happened to this boy this past Sunday. He became a Sunbeam.
I'm actually in the Primary presidency (so I help with all the kids 3-11). So I got to see the transition take place, and I must say... he did MUCH better than I expected of this overly energetic, superhero playing boy. We had to talk it up to him the whole week before. He was a bit devastated that he'd no longer be in nursery. Yes, he got out of his chair a few times. Yes, he kept unbottoning and buttoning back up his vest. Yes, he insisted on marching up front while the teacher was teaching, and close the mailbox because it was open. BUT, considering the amount of energy this kid has, and considering he is known to be a bit rowdy {that may be an understatement}, I would give him an A+ for the day.

Sounds like he did a better job than Thomas last year when he started sunbeams. He just continued wanting to go to nursery, but now things are much better. I hope Stone continues to enjoy it. That's nice you can see what he's doing and know what songs he's learning being in primary too.
Oooooh, he still wanted to go to nursery, that's for sure! But he did good!
Yay for Stone! Cailen was very excited to go be a Sunbeam too, especially since my mom is his teacher! First he goes into Nursery with me and now he goes into Primary with grandma! He did pretty well too, so I guess we can both give sighs of relief! Cute pics!!!!
