Isaac's first testimony in Sacrement Meeting!

So I had a full life circle moment today. We are sitting in Sacrament and a little boy gets up to bear his testimony and Isaac looks up and says "Mom, I want to go up there." I am very hesitant about that and always felt sorry for the moms who had to take there kids up there. But what do you say to your 3 year old who wants to near his testimony. So, I asked him if he just wanted to talk in the microphone or if he wanted to tell everybody that he know the church was true. And he said "I want to bear my testimony. So I take him up there and when he gets up to the mike which he can't even see over, he just looks at me smiling and won't say anything. So, I tell him we have to sit down if he won't talk. (All of this seems like an eternity) So he finally says " I know that Jesus lives." And then he laughs out loud and yells "Mom that was so loud!" I was mortified. He finally finished and then after I shared my testimony he wanted to talk again and threw a fit the whole time I'm dragging him off the stage yelling "I want to talk again!"
Needless to say I am not looking forward to sacrament meeting. But it was sweet to hear his little testimony and see his courage!

i remember a story grandpa told about when he would get annoyed at all the little children sharing testimonies with their parents whispering it in their ears..."that's not a testimony.." he thought and then his Parent whispered in his ear. "Kenyon...that is how our testimony starts."
