The Good With The Bad

This started as a facebook status, but then it was too long and still didn't really give the stories justice!  So I thought this was better.  Our Sundays are really hecktic with church being at 1.  It's usually naptime for both of my boys, Trae isn't old enough for nursery (but does better than most 18 month olds), and both Derrick and I have callings where we teach.  It can get really stressful.

And granted, it still had it's usual stress (I have officially given up completely of even attempting going to Sunday School... Trae escapes and runs back to cry at the nursery door as often as he can), we had some pretty funny moments.

Before church, Aaron saw me in a dress and kept saying "Mommy princess. Mommy princess."  TOTALLY made my morning!  I don't even really know where he learned about princesses, but it was super cute to hear from him.

Then we were late for church.  Aaron was lagging behind as usual walking into the church.  We turned right to sit in the back.  When Aaron walked in, the turned left and started heading up to where we usually sit.  He looked at each row trying to find us, all the while I am trying to get his attention from the back.  He walked to nearly the front when another family coming in passed him.  He decided to just follow and sit with them!  He just blended in with their kids and took a seat in the middle of their bench.  It was so hard to not laugh (as the meeting had already started) as I walked from the most back seat all the way to the second row from the front to pick him up, as the mom in the family was looking around wondering what had happened.  It was pretty funny.

Later Aaron was playing with two cars.  Trae has been learning how to be aggressive and actually take things from Aaron.  (Up until maybe a week or two ago, it's always been the other way around.)  Aaron put his car down for a whopping second and Trae immediately picked it up super fast and then booked it running towards the front of the chapel.  It took me a second or two to even process what exactly happened because it was so out of the blue and fast!  Trae even made it to the front by the time Derrick got up and chased him down.

I think it is safe to say that my boys entertained a few families today.  And sadly, I still couldn't tell you what either of the speakers' messages were.  Gotta love being a parent.  You can sit through an entire hour and not hear a thing.
