Big Day

Today was a big day for the Dastrups at church. The biggest news is that after 3 years of nursery, Jacob finally became a Sunbeam and went to primary like a big boy! He was a little disoriented and concerned when I dropped him off with his new teachers and class, but his teachers are really sweet and wonderful, and they said that he did really well! They told me that his laugh is infectious and that he had the whole class laughing with him. We're so happy to feel like he is in a good situation.

Benjamin's big change today is that he moved from Junior Primary to Senior Primary. The presidency felt like Benjamin and his classmates were so smart that they should be in sr. primary even though they are only six. Just kidding. Actually, the truth is that our ward has too many jr. primary kids to fit in one room, so they had to advance a few classes to sr. primary early to make room for the younger ones. Benjamin said that he likes his new class and the change.

The other big news of the day is that Benjamin is going to be doing a piano solo in sharing time sometime soon. Yes, that's right-- a piano solo. He informed us on the way home from church that he signed up to do one in primary. We were a little concerned since he doesn't know how to play the piano, but he just informed us that he wasn't worried-- he just planned to get up there and play something. We tried to explain that you can't just sit down and play a song on an instrument that you've never learned to play, but he's pretty convinced that we are wrong-- how hard can it be?? I think I'd better make some phone calls...
