First Primary Program

 
 Love this picture of my boys!! 
 
 They looked so cute before church that I had to take a picture and
 it was also Jacoby's first primary program and it did not disappoint.  He was so cute!  He sang all of his songs and said his line but the best part of all was every two seconds he would smile and wave at us- every two seconds- priceless!
After sacrament, the primary had a party.  He was so excited to go.  They had treats and were going to watch a movie.  I dropped him off and headed to class.  I came back a few times to check on him when I was walking the halls with Jace but he looked like he was fine so I didn't go in.  Jarod came to get us and so we both went in to get Jacoby.  They were watching Prince of Egypt (which I have never seen before) and as soon as he saw me, he got huge tears in his eyes and asked if we could leave.  So we headed out the door and before the door even closed he started bawling.  Jarod and I kept looking at each other but we had no idea why.  When I finally got him calmed down enough he told me that the movie was really scary.  I felt horrible, I didn't even think about that.  Then I loaded him in the car and my poor baby boy asked me to open his snacks because he hadn't been able to open them himself.  Then I felt worse.  Then he told me why the movie was scary and I was done, with tears in my own eyes I climbed in the car and we came home with Jacoby crying the entire way home.  The movie is about Moses and the thing that was the most upsetting to my sweet boy was that Moses' mama put him in a basket and had to leave him.  My poor child!  That was the beginning of the movie and the rest of the time he sat there so sad and scared for Moses because he didn't have his Mama.  He kept asking me what Moses did when he scared because he didn't have his Mama or when he needed milky how did he get it?  He could not get over how a little boy could survive without his Mama.  Even an hour after being home he was still distraught.  I took him up to his room to lay down with him and calm him down.  I asked him if he wanted to say a prayer to help him feel better and he asked me if I would because he couldn't stop crying and holding on to me for dear life.  I said a prayer and asked that he wouldn't remember the movie.  When we got done, I read him a few books and he was calm.  Then he decided he wanted to build a fort and he has not mentioned it again.  Shocking, if you know my son and I say an answer to prayer. 
I am so thankful for my relationship with my son.  We are so close and our world's are truly one.  It broke my heart to see how upset he was at the idea of a baby not having their Mama.

Such a sweetheart. I hope he doesn't remember the movie again! You should be so proud of how you and Jarod have raised your boys. Clearly, there is so much love!
