Another Dallin-ism

It seems like my only blogs are quotes from Dallin, but honestly, they are the easiest and fastest things to record. Soooooo, yesterday I took Dallin to Disneyland. Just mother and son. I made the mistake of taking him on Tower of Terror as our first ride. he didn't like it very much. We moved on to more "Dallin appropriate" rides and I thought he would love Soarin over CA. We get to our seats, he saw the seat belt (very similar to the one on Tower) and FREAKED OUT! I had to ask the worker how to get out. She told me to go back the way we came in. I told Dallin if he didn't calm down we would go home. That made him full on lose it. I would have to say it was the worst tantrum I have ever seen any child throw. He screamed bloody murder the whole way back out and all I could do was giggle. Once on the tram, and once calm, Dallin says "Mommy, I'm really really sorry. I left my manners at home." Now that's my son. The sweet, caring little guy. I do have to say that I take full responsibility for the tantrum. He doesn't throw tantrums, he was just so scared from going on Tower (the ride I had forced him to go on. I know, I know, Mom of the year.)

On a different note, we had our primary program today. It was Dallin's first time being in one. He was the first kid to say his part, which was pretty long for a Sunbeam, but he totally nailed it. He said it slow and clear and into the mic. The primary president told me after that he was the only kid that had memorized his parts. During the intro to one of the songs Dallin took the opportunity to have a solo and start the song 2 measures before the rest of the primary. It was really funny & cute. Everyone busted up laughing. I was told after that he started at the spot they had practiced, but the pianist played 2 extra measures. My smart kid! The rest of church was fun because everyone I walked by would just chuckle and comment on how cute Dallin is. He is such a good kid and I am so grateful to have him as an example for my other kiddos.
