The Littlest Sunbeam

Our granddaughter, Kate, started Sunbeams on Sunday. (How did she get to be three years old? We must have had a really long blink!)

Here is what Helena wrote about her: "Because of when Kate's birthday falls, she gets to go into Primary when she's just barely turned three.

She likes singing, and stories, and she has some good teachers. (The 'staying in your seat' concept will take a bit longer, I think.) When I asked her later if she liked Primary, she said, 'Yes!'"
