Ikaika gave his first talk at church yesterday! His topic was, if you couldn't tell "I'm trying to be like Jesus". I thought if he said the words to the song and held up pictures he would have a lot of fun. Justin and I didn't know if ikaika would actually participate and were prepared to share Ikaika's talk for him since he had been really reluctant to practice for the family.
Well sure enough when it was Ikaika time to talk, he didn't even wait for Justin! He marched right up to the little pulpit, grab the mic and started rambling nonsense into the mic. He thought he was awesome, the kids and teachers were all laughing.
Justin whispered Ikaika's talk to him and Ikaika reluctantly listened and it lasted till about halfway through the talk when Ikaika decided he didn't need his dads help. He turned to Justin, said" shhhhhh daddy, don't talk" and started that incoherent rambling again! ha ha ha, it was so cute and so funny. Meanwhile I had labeled all of the pictures justin would have to turn to during all of this but he was so concentrated on ikaika, that out of 10 pictures Justin managed to only show 3. Of course I don't think anyone noticed because Ikaika was definitely center of attention.
After a good laugh, I started to wonder if that all Ikaika thinks we do when we give talk, or maybe that's all he hears! lol! It was a lot of fun and definitely a memorable moment!
