How cute . . . I mean how embarrassing

We had ward conference today and the primary kids were singing "I am a Child of God". Aidan and Ian were standing next each other and Ian couldn't see. Aidan lifted him up onto a stool next to the podium and then was hugging him and stuff. I heard people behind me saying, "Look how cute, etc.," Then Ian decided he was bored and got out a toy to play with. Aidan (trying to make Ian be good) took the toy away and kept singing. Ian stopped singing.

 Angry tears started coursing down his red face as he POUNDED his fist on the podium. So it sounded like this, "I am (thump) a child (thump) of God (thump, thump, thump) and he has (thump) sent me here (thump, thump, thump)." By this time Ian was in complete meltdown mode and just sobbing and thumping. The primary chorister lifted him over the barrier and held him until I could get up there. I was mortified, but laughing at the same time. That one is going to go down in our book of Classic Ian Moments.

First of all... that's hilarious! Secondly... the guys DO need a blog! I didn't know why John was asking you about this, Tara. IT'S BECAUSE HE READ THE BLOG... even before I did!

I agree. Collin said it could be a McKinney family blog and John could be the administrator (blogmaster).

Okay that is just hilarious! It's funny when it's not your child. It's only funny when they're yours after some time. Ian's so cute. Someday when he has a child that has meltdowns you can tell him all the stories of his tantrums.

That's SO funny. I'm glad you got a laugh out of it because we all did. I could just picture him (and you guys). So cute!
