Last Sunday McKay was asked to give the Third Article of Faith in Primary today. His initial response was 'No thanks'. I told him I would help him so he sort of nodded 'okay'. Just before reading scriptures almost every night this week we practiced saying the third article of faith, me telling him what to say. We practiced me whispering and him talking loud, pretending Daddy and Max were the whole primary, etc. He said it probably 2-3 times each night. By Friday night, he started saying the next part before I told him what to say. And now, one week later, he has article of Faith #3 memorized. He will be 4 three months from today.
My favorite part is his grin when he finishes it.
When we got to primary they asked him to sit in the front of the primary with the others who had the prayer, scripture and talk. (The scripture and talk were supposed to be given by McKay's two classmates in Sunbeams but they were too scared.) McKay didn't want to sit on the big chairs; he wanted to sit on his small chair that 'fits me just right'. So I sat where he was supposed to sit and then went with him up to the front when it was time for his part. I could see he was a bit nervous. I lifted him up to stand on the stool and pulled the microphone down as far as it would go but he still wasn't tall enough so I lifted him up on my knee. I couldn't have been more proud as his sweet voice said it perfectly, with no hesitation at all!
Way to go McKay!
Next I think we'll do the first article of faith. :)

That is soooo great! You totally need to teach him all of them. I guess my mom did the same with me and I memorized all 12 by the time I was a Star I think she said and I got a special little award. My mom said I learned so well by hearing her say it and repeating it back. Anyway, wish I still learned that way and could memorize!!!
What a smart, brave boy you have :)
That's awesome!
Way to go McKay! That's a great accomplishment!
