So it is official, the Dearden children are the most disruptive at church. Carter had such a hard time being reverent in Primary that after they moved him several times, and he still refused to be good, they brought him to us in Sunday School. When I played the piano in Primary, I don't remember any kids getting kicked out, so he must have really been trouble! So, Taylor took him for awhile until he was ready to apologize and be good.
Then after Relief Society I was busy talking with people and Serena was in the Relief Society room wandering around. She climbed on a chair and pulled the fire alarm! I was so embarrassed! Luckily, Bishop Dearden was able to quickly use his key to turn it off, but then it went off twice more as they reset it, so the whole thing was very disruptive!!!!
I don't know if it is possible to have enough Family Home Evenings on reverence to get our kids to practice the principle!
On a happy note, Aleeya was smiling through the whole thing! There is still hope for her reverence!
Haleigh has always been so good at church and so this new child is throwing me off. He doesn't want to sit still and wants to be all over the place and I HAVE to be in RS to play the piano and of course that's at the end of our three hours and so he really gets mad by the end of church. Thank goodness for understanding moms that have kids too!!! I still feel so embarrassed chasing him around constantly.
ReplyDeleteMy mom made us "practice" reverence when we were naughty in church. I think it worked, she had 9 kids and people always told her that her kids were good in church. Alana is disruptive also...we can't wait for nursery!! :)
ReplyDeleteI think you will certainly laugh about that one day...I have to admit that I had a good laugh about the fire alarm, probably to your dismay. Sorry. Don't worry, you're probably the only one that thinks your kids are the most disruptive. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to the father. I don't know who he is but I can only assume he's a man of great character who has the wisdom of a Eagle, the courage of a Lion, a man of great intellect. I know this great man would never let his daughter ring the fire alarm
