Round 3

The birthday celebration continued through to Sunday.

I forgot to mention that before we left for NYC I had received cards from many of my family members.

Got up, got ready for church, played the organ, helped in nursery, did singing time in nursery, and finished up third hour in elders quorum.

Singing time was fun. Learned some things. We started off with a "wiggle" song. I had them all stand up on their carpet squares, then told them to turn to the left so we could march in a circle. They were all facing different directions. Although they can remember the lyrics to a bunch of songs, apparently the concepts of left and right haven't sunk in yet. Our marching in circle looked like a little kid's soccer game, where everyone clusters around the ball.

We learned how music can make us happy and sang "If you're happy and you know it" and "No one likes a frowning face."

Next we learned how music can teach us about the world around us. We sang about the wheels on the bus and popcorn popping.

Last, we learned how music can teach us about Heavenly Father, and sang "I Am a Child of God."

When home teaching with Jill, then took a nap until dinner time. We were both pretty wiped out from our long ride back to DC.

Spoke with family members and had a yummy day-after-birthday meal.
