"Big Church"

I've been trying to keep Wesley in the church services or what we call "big church" more often now. He has been getting a little better about staying in there longer. When I say longer, it could vary anywhere from 5 minutes to about 30 to 45 minutes. One Sunday, a few weeks ago, he stayed in there the entire time, only b/c he had just bumped his head on the floor and he didn't want to leave me. I think its harder when your daddy is the preacher and when he is so use to going there often and playing in the sanctuary on the piano and pushing the wheelchair around. I am working on it and slowly, but surely, determined that he will one day stay in there. I know he is still young. I just can't imagine right now having a baby in there with a 2yr old. Our church is small, so we don't have many activities for children his age, which makes it more challenging. The people are very kind and tell me not to worry about how he acts in the service b/c he has to learn. However, its still hard b/c I am very sensitive to other people's feelings and I don't want to bother anyone else. Tonight at church, I tried to keep him in there. He stayed about 10 minutes then was ready to go and then come back in again. Whenever Mark prays or says something, he says "daddy,daddy." However, I'm confident that he will eventually stay in there someday, with the Lord's help:)

Also, a cute thing Wesley did tonight was when I was praying with him at bedtime, Mark & I usually take turns, he has this big stuffed lamb, & he folded the lamb's paws or feet, whatever lamb's have. He waited until I was finished to unfold them. It was so cute. I am going to have to start bringing our camera in there for bedtime.
