Sunbeams

 I don't know how it happened, but Kelsey is old enough to be a Sunbeam. It was such a weird day. She definitely is way too old for nursery, but it was also weird to have her go to Primary.
She carried her Book of Mormon, sang (and danced) to all of the songs, and actually stayed in her chair most of the time. She even volunteered to go to the front. Since I am in the Primary Presidency I was able to sneak and watch her.

The week before Primary, they had a practice run for all the incoming Sunbeams and Kelsey got so nervous that I was worried that she wouldn't want to go this week but oh how wrong I was. She practically ran to primary and was smiling the whole time. 

I asked her to smile and she said "Mom! I'm trying to sing" I know, I know! I try not to be THAT mom but I totally am.  I can't help it. She's so adorable!

 I hate watching Kelsey get older because, in my dramatic mind, it just makes me think about the time when she has to leave the house for good, but she is growing up so beautiful that I feel so blessed to get to watch her. Kelsey is so obedient, so happy, and so kind. She is confident, but willing to learn and try new things. When it comes to new situations, Kelsey always gets a little nervous,but she never shys away from a new challenge. Even when she's scared she tries new things. I am so grateful for the things that I learn from Kelsey every day.
