Our Primary President came up with a wonderful thing where she spotlights a child in primary every week. She asks the kids questions about themselves (likes and dislikes etc), and then she calls the parents and asks them some questions about their child too. With all the info she get from both the child and their parents she makes a 12x12 scrapbook page of things about the child and presents it during primary reading the things about them. Nicholas was the spotlight today and at the end she gave him his scrapbook page about him and a typed paper of all the answers John and I gave about Nicholas and the things that Nicholas answered for her to go along with it.
So here it is
Spotlight NICHOLAS JAMES WILDER (Questions posed to Nicholas for him to answer are in red)
What is your child's full name: Nicholas James Wilder
What is the Story Surrounding you child's Birth?
Nicholas is our third child. The third grandchild on one side and the fourth on the other. Nicholas although the third was our first planned child and was born nine months after we moved to Porterville. Nicholas was born two weeks early on his dads first day of Spring Break so his dad was dissapointed that he already had the week off so he didn't get an extra week off like he hoped for.
What year was he born? 2005
Where was he born? Porterville, California
Where did he get his name? Nicholas is a name from his dads side. It was the name his uncle was originally named but his uncle was born a few days before Christmas and the nurses kept singing Jolly Ole Saint Nicholas and his grandma was worried he would never live down the name of Saint Nick, so his name was changed and she never had another son to use the name Nicholas. James is Sarah's grandfathers name. Nicholas got to meet him for the first time in April of this year (2010) two weeks before he passed away from Cancer.

A funny story about him?
When Nicholas was around 7/8 months old his uncle Donald was taking a photography class in college. He needed a picture that depicted an expression. He was having a hard time getting what he wanted. He asked if it was okay if he gave Nicholas a lemon or pickle and take a picture of the expression he made. I was okay with it so he gave him a pickle. Nicholas grabbed a hold of it and started sucking away. He LOVED IT. No expression of dislike just kept sucking on it. From that day forward his nickname has been Mr. Pickles.
Nicholas is known in our house for falling asleep wherever he is in the weirdest positions.
What makes your child so special?
I have always referred to Nicholas as my "Ray of Sunshine" he is a very loving and cuddly child who loves to sit and just be snuggled and read too.

That is so cute. What a great idea. There was an audible "awe" from me when I read that Addison was his hero. So great! Did John ever tell you that I was his hero? I was.
