The anticipation for "Jennifer Conference" was huge for Porter this past week. Is that weird for a 3 year old? We talked about it all week and I prepared a bunch of activities for him to do during conference and he could hardly wait! Saturday morning he asked me if he needed to wear a tie to watch. Here was one of his favorite activities:
His Prophet and Apostle Chain.
We colored each apostle when they spoke and he was so happy when they were all colored and put together he carried it everywhere! Oh my child! I went into conference thinking that if I put together a bunch of activities for him to do then I could listen more intently. Maybe I got a little to into it? Instead I was heavily engaged in helping him build a tent and construct King Benjamin's tower, coloring the apostles and playing the "did you hear that word" game. We had jars of candy labeled with words like spirit, scripture, etc. and every time he heard that word he got a treat! Wow, it got a bit out of control, I guess I should have been more careful with my word selection. But we even had Jack pretending to listen for candy so that is success in my book!
We had a wonderful conference weekend full of delicious food and all the uplifting messages Conference brings.

Too cute. I will not be surprised at all when Porter is called as the world's youngest apostle at age 11. You are such a good mom. I always thought I would plan fun stuff like that for conference but I never did and now my kids are too old for it. I'm sure Bea would rather watch conference with you guys!!
