Kaipo's FIRST

Today, our handsome 4year old gave his FIRST talk in Primary.

Our TRUE lamanite, with his mohawk and all :)

He did really well, minus not being able to hear him.

Of course today was the day there was no microphone,

for all the little sunbeams to be in charge of opening exercises.

Kaipo, much like his older sister,

jumped right up there with no hesitation and FULL of confidence.

Mom did have to whisper the talk to him,

he didn't quite have the same drive & ambition

as his sister-who memorized her first talk.

We don't know who was more proud,

Kaipo or his parents!

We love you BIG boy and are so grateful for

the strong, intelligent, amazing young man you are!!!

I didn't catch him b4 he undressed after church,

but I did get him to sit still long enough, so Ame could

video him saying his talk. We wanted to share it

with Grandpa and Grandma, who we know

wanted to see it. And just in case you didn't understand

all the words of his talk, here is what he said:

(Each Family Member Has Important Responsibilities)

My home is a place where I feel loved. My mom and dad work hard to make our home a happy and safe place. They teach me and help me learn to choose the right. My sister teaches me too. She also plays with me and helps me do nice things for others. My little brother is learning to be a good helper and is really good at putting everything in the garbage. I try to be a nice brother. I also try to be a BIG helper. I am really good at showing love, by giving lots of hugs and kisses to my family. I want our home to be filled with love, so I help us remember to say family prayers. I love my family and I know that I am special.
