Priamary!

(L-R Sis. Adams, Ains, Nathan, Kiley)

Today was Ainsley's first day of primary. Most of her friends are already in primary but since she is a January birthday she's been waiting all year to be in primary. Yesterday Ains and I went to the church for a get to know your teacher breakfast activity. I got to meet my new class (I've got the 4-5 year olds) and Ains got to meet her teachers. Ainsley was so excited to be at a primary activity. She told every one that she ran into, "Hey! Did you know that I'm in primary!" One of her teacher's is Sis. Reed (her friend Kiley's mom) and her other teacher is Sis. Adams. Sis. Adams is a part of the deaf group in our ward (our ward services all the deaf people in the valley). Since there is a deaf girl in Ainsley's class Sis. Adams will be in there to sign for her. Sis. Adams will be a fun teacher, she reads lip super well, and talks really well, so you hardly even notice that she is deaf.

I was so proud of Ains today when I watched her during sharing time. She was better behaved than several of my 4 year olds. She paid attention,participated, and even sat quietly! I heard that her teachers got a kick out of her too. One of her teachers told me that they were doing get to know you activities and asking the kids their "favorites". Most kids gave an answer similar to what ever the first kid to answer said. But not our Ainsley! When asked her favorite song she told them that it was Sweet Caroline, and then proceeded to sing a portion for them. Apparently her teachers didn't know that there were any 3 year olds out there than knew that song.
