A month and a half ago Aubryn, Rylan, Reagan, and James sang the second verse of "The Holy Ghost" in our children's Primary Program at church. We practiced A LOT. Brad learned the song on the piano and would play for them. Before that, I had them sing along with the computer. Reagan liked rapping the song.
Unfortunately, it didn't go awesome. James stood up on a stool and was right in front of the microphone. You couldn't see or hear Reagan and Rylan. And Aubryn re-sung the first verse at first then Reagan whispered to her and she began singing the second verse. You could see the disappointment in her face. Luckily, no one even knew she sang the wrong words. She was so smooth about fixing it and it is not a well known song. She sang beautifully! So many people commented to me about her beautiful voice. People were smiling and a little giggling was happening because of James. She thought it was because she sang the wrong words. She was devastated. She began to cry right after the closing prayer. She went in the van and did not want to come out. It took lots of convincing to help her see that no one laughed at her and she sang beautifully. She vowed to never sing in the primary program again. I am still not sure she believes me. Here is a video of them singing at home:
I love my kids! They worked hard on this. I am not musical in anyway, so they figured a lot of this out on their own.
