Are you my Mother?


Elijah's class performed a play based (sort of) on the book "Are you my Mother". Elijah was chosen to be one of the chickens! Elijah's line was "come with us if you eat worms". When we started practicing he couldn't quite get the words in the correct order but after we worked on it during the weeks leading up to the play he learned it and during the play he did his line PERFECTLY! We were SO SO proud of Elijah! We feel so incredibly blessed that this little boy who could not even say his name 3 years ago (really!) is doing this well. Elijah does work hard to keep up but he is so determined and confident! God is good and has been so faithful to answer our prayers! What a cute little chicken we have! Although I don't eat worms I do feel blessed to be able to say; "Yes, I am your Mother" :)
