SUNDAYS

Sundays...you know how they are. Probably the most challenging day of the week for us, in terms of juggling things. Today, after early choir practice, Sunday meetings, Ryan speaking in another ward, me playing the violin in church, (and trying to pump a bottle for Keira so I could play the violin in church) dealing with nursery children, dealing with our children, and Ryan home teaching, our family was finally all together just in time for our home teachers to come this evening.

Needless to say, Emma was so TIRED, and onry. I had to take her upstairs during the home teaching and put her in time-out. After they left, she came down crying, and went into the bathroom and sort composed a "crying" song. It went something like this: "No one likes me. Not, mom, or dad, or my brother or sisters. Everyone doesn't like me." And she sang it several times, waiting for a response. Emma is a bit dramatic, and she is pretty stubborn and can't be threatened or talked into or out of anything, so we had to let her finish her song and decide on her own that no one was going to pay into her little "attention" scheme. Pretty soon she was fine, and then she got some attention

Kids are so funny--and sometimes they aren't so funny. Today was one of those days!
