Primary

One of Camden's favorite things to play by herself is Primary.  I hear her playing it almost every day.  (Not even exaggerating.)  It started out pretty simple, but it has evolved into literally hours of play and she has even created a stand complete with microphone (a kitchen stool with her toy microphone standing upright on the edge).

She will open books and pretend to read church-type stories.  She pretends to whisper in someone's ear, or that someone is whispering in her ear.  Just like you see parents doing for their children when they give a talk in Primary.  We hear some pretty great "talks" and we are a little surprised sometimes by what she says.  She opens each meeting with a "Hello, Brothers and Sisters."

She even throws in singing.  I'm not sure I've ever seen a musical performance like the ones she does in church before, but I guess we all have our dreams.  Her rendition of "Mary Did You Know" was particularly interesting.  "Mary did you know that your baby boy would grow up and be famous?"  I'm fairly certain that this is nowhere in the actual song, but Jesus is pretty famous so at least she got that part right.

Sometimes she will dance while she sings.  Those are the times I think about writing "Primary" the musical.  If you've ever been in Primary, you'll agree that this could be quite an entertaining musical.

All of this makes me wonder, just a little, about what that teacher of hers is teaching in class.  Not really.  Camden has the sweetest teacher, Miss Lyndsie.  She and Camden share a special bond.  I tell people all the time that they are kindred spirits, or twins born 15 years apart by different mothers.  It's seriously the craziest thing I've ever seen.  We all truly love Miss Lyndsie and are so thankful that Camden gets to have her for a Primary teacher for the second year in a row.  It's obvious that she loves all the kids she teaches.  She has a great love for the gospel and enjoys sharing that with the kids.  Camden will forever cherish the time she has been able to learn the gospel from Miss Lyndsie.
