Kyra has really been going through some growing pains lately. She seemed to have gained a new level of emotions and has been trying to figure out how to control them. She has been really sensitive and seemed to be lacking self confidence (which just killed me.) Also, she has been having seperation issues, when I drop her off at Primary. Well I recently, borrowed a parenting book from a friend, and it had some ideas on how to build your childs self confidence. So I've been trying a couple techniques, not really knowing if they were working or not.Well, this past Sunday was fast sunday. Kyra asked if she could bear her testimony. While she was waiting her turn she said "I'm going to say this, and this, this and this, and that, and this and this...." I had her pick just three. Well she did great! I was really proud of her, for bearing her testimony all by herself. I thought to myself...wow I guess of those parenting techinques worked! She seems so much more comfortable in her own skin :) Well, then after church just before I went to pick up Kyra from Primary, the Primary President pulled me aside and says she has to tell me something. Apparently, Kyra, at the beginning of Primary, went up to the President and asked if she could sing a song to the Primary. Well not really knowing what to say, she just said "Um..sure!" So they had the prayer, scripture and talk, and then Kyra went up to the front of the room. She requested that the piano player play the first verse to "I love to see the Temple". She then proceeded to sing the entire first verse, into the microphone, to the entire primary! When she finished she jumped down, found her seat and was happy as a peach the rest of the time. What??? Is she going to want to do that each week??? What do I do with my little American Idol tryout now??? Here is a new picture of our sweet girl!

okay her testimony was the sweetest thing ever. I wanted to blog about how a little red headed girl brought such a strong spirit into the sacrament meeting. She really is something special that little girl! And I don't think I have had the chance to tell you how awesome you look, you seriously don't even look like you just had a baby!
You are such a good mommy!!! I'm so proud of Kyra!! Your family picture is beautiful, and I love the picture of Kyra. She is so beautiful!
Love the new pics. Eloise did a fabulous job with you amazing family. Kyra is wonderful. This is definitely the age in which those new emotions arise. Bailey's are about to kill me this go round. Glad Kyra is gaining confidence. She did great on her testimony. I was proud of her too and she wasn't even my own child!
Ya Kyra! Love her new pictures and your new family picture.
Cute pics! What a brave little girl!
So, what book was recommended to you?
She is so sweet! I wish I had been in primary when she sang! And you are such a great Mom Sara! Thanks for being an incredible example!
