Seth's talk

I'm that parent.  I can't remember if this is Seth's first Primary talk or not (Jer says he thinks it is his first), but he gave one today.  I was teaching in YW's today, so Jer took him and helped him with his talk.  He wanted to hold it all through sacrament meeting and was upset when I gave it to Dad towards the end.  Jer said he did a great job and wasn't too silly.  I thought he would be as soon as he got to the microphone. It was a good week to give a talk.  He was supposed to talk about what we were learning in the week's Come Follow Me program.  We talked about a lot of the parables.  Seth didn't listen or understand any of them, so I sat down one on one with him and tried to explain what the parables were and why Jesus taught that way.  It's amazing what you learn when you're trying to simplify for littles.  This is what we ended up with.  (I would ask him some questions and write down his answers).  I loved that it boiled down to Jesus loves us, teaches us and we need to obey.  He was so bouncy all weekend.  Especially during church.  He kept trying to wrestle with Sam and Evelyn.  I ended up having to separate them all.  I love this active kid.  Sometimes his activeness doesn't love me back.
