Singing in the choir

Today was a big day for Griffin. It was his first performance singing with the Children's choir at church. They can participate once they turn 4, and luckily for our family, the director chose a familiar song (Jesus Loves Me) for the kids to sing. It was also Children's Sabbath at our church. He did pretty well. I was worried that he would make a scene. The choirs came in with the procession at the beginning of the service, and his group didn't sing that song so they just stood there with the rest of the kids. Pretty hard for him but he did it. His song was during the offertory and there were no major issues. He was a little fidgety at one point when the adult choir was singing. He was puffing his cheeks full of air and sticking his tongue out. But he stood in place and didn't cause too much commotion. He got lots of kudos from people in the congregation so I think he had a fun time with it.

He is also really enjoying Sunday School. They do a lot more this year. I guess they must be talking about Abraham and Sarah right now. He came home with a worksheet that said something like, "God decided to bless Abraham and Sarah with a child. What has God given you that is a blessing?". Griffin wrote, "Applesauce". Apparently he had a long discussion about how you should always eat a healthy snack like applesauce.

Jack loves Sunday School too-he does much better in there compared to being in the nursery.
