We had our Primary program on Sunday, October 28, 2012.
Aaron had always refused (and would FREAK out) when it was his turn at the mic. He would hide his face that looked like he was to burst into tears or actually cry (once...or twice...) basically refuse to say anything even if a leader offered to help him. (I got to witness this firsthand since I'm now the Sunbeams teacher in Primary.)
One Sunday after a practice in Primary when he did cry, the Primary President must have seen David in the hall and told him what happened. David talked to him and Aaron seemed ok after that. We would mention it throughout the week and he would always agree to do his part. Like any other parents, we bribed him. (or threatened, depending on how you want to look at it.) - no Netflix if he didn't do his part.
The last Sunday before the program, there was an afternoon practice and he refused to do his part. (He was banned from Netflix that week.)
Come Sunday morning when we got into the chapel to sit up on the stand, he started crying and was super upset and wouldn't go sit in his spot up on the stand. I talked to him, asked him to stop crying, reminded him about Netflix. David came in and saw that he was upset and went to talk to him before it started and we both hoped for the best.
When it was his turn at the mic, HE DID HIS PART! We were so excited! (David did a fist pump while I silently clapped up on the stand). The adults who had seen him at the practices all commented that he did so good!
We are so proud of him!
Before I forget, Raya was also part of the program. She, along with the nursery kids, came up to the stand to sing "I'm a Child of God". She didn't sing the whole time but she sure looked cute up there!
