primary program - "i am a child of god"

this was xander's second year in the primary program...but i'm a terrible mom and i can't remember what he said or how he did last year.
well this year was quite memorable. xander had the very first speaking part. we practiced at home and although the words didn't exactly match the script he knew what he was going to say. he stood up to start the program and said
"when i hear..." but then he stopped and then he hit his head with his left hand "...ugh". but he started again "when i hear..." and again he stopped, hit his head with his hand "....ugh, this is so hard." so, he tried a third time and he did it perfectly. "when i hear the words of the song i am a child of god i am remembered/reminded that heavenly father loves me."
so many people have commented to me and todd about his theatrics. they loved it, they adored it, they adore him.

"that's what we love to see when we watch the program, little personalities like that".
"that is so xander. any other child would have cried, but not xander. he just kept on going til he got it right".
"it was the perfect to start the primary program"
"only xander could do it"
"he voiced the way they felt when they get up to give a talk"
todd said "typcial xander, i knew he was frustrated, but oh so cute"

keep going xander. never give up. you've made us proud.
