The Little Naughty Sunbeam

"Jesus wants me for a sunbeam"--?--I hope that still applies to Grace. She just turned three in September, and today was her first day in Sunbeams. She was pretty good--I lead the music in sharing time so I was there as a witness. She chatted loudly to everyone, gave big answers and sang I Love to See the Temple with zest--informing everyone that is her favorite song. So far, still cute.

She did not want to go with her teacher. Susan Burton goes above and beyond her teacher callings. I know she prepared for at least a week in advance. She had crowns, googly-eyed paper dolls with real lace bows that the kids made for themselves, personalized pictures of Jesus. I was in Young Women's with Susan, and she was frustrated if we ever changed the lesson schedule around because she already had her hand-outs done a month in advance. And she's a sweet grandma. Susan told me she came over twice yesterday to visit Grace, but we were gone both times.

She tried very hard with Grace--Grace wanted to have nothing to do with her--wild little pest! She actually made it through 2/3 of the class though, and then she was returned by a member of the primary presidency. Susan brought Grace her bag of adorable handouts and treasures after class. A minute later Kevin caught Grace throwing them on the floor and stomping on them.
:( So naughty--please don't tell Susan. I would be mortified. SO, we're gonna give it another run next week. Heaven help sweet Sister Burton and the sunbeams.
