Scratch that bit about Hyrum not having the dexterity to turn a doorknob. Amazingly, he stayed in his bed for naps and now bedtime today. (That is, after I held the doorknob last night until he crashed on the floor. It wasn't much of a fight. He didn't take a nap all day yesterday because he wouldn't stay in his bed, and he was exhausted.)

He wins the precious moment of the day award though. At dinner, James called on him to say the blessing on the food. James prompted him, "close your eyes." With the pointer finger on each had he physically pressed his eyelids closed.

Yesterday, James was trying to get him to say, "Holy Cow!" James said, "say Holy Cow." Hyrum responded, "Moooo!"

Tonight's FHE activity is a favorite --- ding-dong-ditching. We delivered Halloween cookies to each of their teachers, the primary president, and the primary chorister as we had a lesson en route on gratitude. Each child used bat, pumpkin, and ghost stamps to make a card that read, "What do ghosts say the week of Halloween?" Inside: "Boo and thank you." Yesterday, was the primary program and we were very grateful for their primary teachers and leaders and all the hard work they did to help them share their testimonies of Jesus Christ through word and song.
