One darling girl

Annie gave a talk in Primary today. She did a fantastic job. Jacob typed it for her,
but she narrated the entire thing. It was a proud moment for a mom and dad.

The Primary now has their opening exercises in the chapel. That obviously means that any child
giving a talk gives it at the pulpit. I watched Annie step up on the small stool and stand proudly
to begin. The microphone was up high to accommodate the Primary president who had just
announced her talk. I saw Annie go up on her tiptoes to reach the microphone just as the
Primary president brought it down to meet her. I didn’t think a lot about it until my good friend
caught me after the talks were over. She had been on the stand to help her son give his talk
following Annie. Apparently, Annie had gone up on her tiptoes and stayed that way the entire
talk. She had not even moved.Still as a stone. Smiling the whole time. Reading like a pro.

Annie girl. You are one tough cookie. And having your dad’s incredible calves doesn’t hurt a bit.
