No pictures...sorry just venting. This weekend started off by Rob spending 3 1/2 hours moving people into the ward...(one guy just moved out last week and decided he didn't want to move so they moved him back in yesterday!) Ava only took a 45 minute nap to last her all day. She also fell on a toy which resulted in a bloody mouth a nasty bruise across her face. After all the moving Rob had to study all day, which made for a long Saturday.
But on a good note, I made some homemade strawberry jam yesterday. It was SOOOO easy and cheap. I made 6 containers and I'm thinking about making some more before strawberries go yucky.
But I have saved the best story for last. Today at church, Rob and I decided to sit up in the bench section to see if it would help Ava from being a wild child during sacrament. Well Ava was being her usual spirited self and being pretty vocal, but she was being REALLY good, better than she's been in a long time. Anyways, at one point Ava was screeching for some water and got quiet as she took a drink (obviously!), the guy behind us said loudly and sarcastically..."THANKS" Then at one point Ava had a stinky diaper and Rob took her to go change it and the guy behind us was sitting there with his hands in his ears..plugging his ears.
HOW RUDE and IMMATURE...seriously I would maybe expect this from a younger kid, but a grown up?
I guess it's so frustrating because Rob and I try so hard to keep Ava as quiet as we can during sacrament. Now I'm tempted to sit behind/in front of this man every Sunday to show him how loud Ava really can be....Just kidding!
Needless to say I'm glad tomorrow is a new day!

I can't believe that someone would be that rude in church! I am so sorry that that happened to you. We tried sitting in the pews a couple of weeks ago as well and after a COMPLETELY humiliating sacrament meeting I told Dustin that we would never sit up front again. SO I completely understand. They are at that really hard age where they just want down! I wouldn't worry to much about that guy couse honestly I think the majority of people at church understand that you are trying your best to maintain control of a one year old (oxy-moron?). But I do encourage you to find him every Sunday and pick a seat as close as possible, it will serve him right!
ReplyDeleteHang in there, guys! My mom always tells me, "It is just a stage, they WILL grow out of it." Now my baby is 5 and Sacrament meeting can actually get boring sometimes when they are all just drawing and the talk is dragging on. I think Gary actually misses the "stinky diaper excuse" that gets him out of the meeting. He needs another one, don't you think?
