Teaching 4 year olds is always exciting. Teaching them and expecting them to be quiet/reverent is that much more exciting. Today went something like this:
me: k boys, I brought candy for the end of class but you only get it if you can be reverent.
all kids: Yay!
onlygirl - disappears out of chair and goes to visit dad
me - asks Primary Secretary to go find onlygirl
boy1: boy2 you're not being reverent! Stop it! Stop it!
boy3: I want to be reverent. -decides to move to sit by onlygirl
me: boy1 and boy2 I know it's hard sometimes, but I need you to sit still and try to be reverent.
boy1: I want to be reverent. - promptly bursts into tears.
me: boy1, you're doing a good job I just need you to stop playing with boy2 right now.
onlygirl - disappears out of chair to go visit dad again
me - asks help from Primary Secretary to find onlygirl again... look over to see boy1 almost falling off his chair because he fell asleep. I pick him up and put him on my lap.
boy4: I want to sit on your lap
me: You'll have to wait your turn bud.
boy2: My name is Wolverine! It's not boy2, I only answer to Wolverine. My dad is a bad man.
me: boy2, it's singing time. Do you know these songs? And do you know what kind of candy I brought for you if you're super reverent?
To say the least... boy3 got extra candy and Sammy aka:boy4 promptly burst into tears because he got one piece instead of two like boy3... wow.
