The CTR superhero

addie with all of her FAVORITE things

miss pack rat gets all of her jewels to take everywhere they are her favorite- they go in the box with a couple of other random treasures depends on the day, but the jewels are a MUST 

(garganos she LOVES them & everyone wants to know where I bought them)

Addie volunteered at church to bring home the CTR superhero. This meant that she needed to try her best to CTR (choose the right) all week. In primary she would share an experience she had during the week about CTR and repentance (that was the emphasis for the month). I took this photo above so she could use it in her sharing. However, she has a mind of her own and decided she didn't want to share that. She is only a sunbeam (the youngest in the whole church group/ all ages meet together 3-8). Usually the kids get help from parents. She didn't want help. She saw me in the back when she got up and started crying. I want my mom to leave. I didn't know what to do ... so I left hoping she would continue. I was sad I didn't get to hear what she said. She said, later "she wanted me to leave because she could do it all by herself." She went on to tell the kids she snuck into the candy... that she wasn't suppose to and then she told her mom what she did. Because she was honest she rambled on to say she got her pony back (it was on timeout). She kind of combined two stories that didn't really happen, but she had to do it her way and by herself. We love that she is so confident, and able to speak unafraid in such a big group being so little. Even thought it hurt my feelings she wanted me to leave... it makes me laugh.
