Conner's first day in primary was Jan 4, 2004. He was dressed so handsomely from head to toe & ready to move out of the nursery. During singing time he got to participate in a fishing game. He fished out the song "Do as I'm Doing" to which he got to choose the action (marching in place). He even got to stand at the microphone and sing along! During class time it seems that he did pretty good, although the teacher said she found out that Conner does not like to be touched! Then they returned to the Primary room for closing exercises. At some point, Conner decided that he needed to go back up to the microphone. He made a run for the podium but the primary chorister intercepted him and picked him up. He started screaming, "no, put me down!" With just a few minutes left in the meeting they decided to bring him to me. I was in the foyer already with Payton when I heard Conner coming down the hall. He was sooo sad. As I talked to him he said, "we'll try better next time." It was such a sad and funny experience that day. We'll always get to remember that Conner got kicked out on his first day of Primary! |
