Not so reverent Lina

If Lina's current church behavior is a preview of what she will be like as she gets older, I am not excited to be chasing her around the chapel, shushing her in sacrament meeting, and having her teachers talk to me about how irreverent she is in class.

She's so dang curious and LOUD! Not necessarily a good combination.

When we were in the Spanish branch her less than reverent behavior was easily ignored since the rule there was that we shouldn't remove our irreverent kids from the meetings. Kids were allowed to run around on the stand, chase each other down the aisles, talk, cry, scream, etc. Even though that was the school of thought I suspected that Lina was always the loudest.

Now that we are in the English ward my suspicions/fear are becoming reality. Lina is LOUD and IRREVERENT!

Very loud.  

Maybe the loudest.

During hymns she babbles.
During speakers she gurgles.
When we don’t give her the hymn book to play with (she wants to tear out the pages and cover them in drool) she screams.
She babbles at all our surrounding fellow members who are trying to pay attention.

And to make it even more exciting, because she is so dang curious and nosey she won’t fall asleep at church so she skips her nap and ends up super cranky by the time we get home.

Aaahh, I am so dang appreciative of everything that my parents went through with all of us at church....how on earth did they survive 7!?

I vote that there should be a one hour church service available for parents who have little irreverent ones.

My camera phone sucks.
