We got to the point as a family where we felt brave enough to bring the boys to church! For the past few weeks we've all gone together, which has been so wonderful after a couple months of having to switch off with Kerry depending on who was teaching what lesson or was in charge of something. For now Kerry and I are going with the boys to their primary classes, and hopefully before too long the boys will be comfortable enough that they won't need us to stay with them the whole time. We're just so glad that overall they're doing great with the church routine, and since there are so few kids in our ward (there were 4 total the first Sunday we brought them), they get to participate like crazy and get a lot more attention than in a bigger primary. Besides a meltdown from Yeb the first week, lots of wiggles during 3rd hour sacrament meeting, and a potty accident on the upholstered bench today, things have gone remarkably well. We figure those things are pretty much par for the parenting course for a family with 3 young kids.
Besides the excitement of going with the rest of the family to church, the boys are very motivated to be able to wear their church clothes on Sundays. Tam acted like life couldn't get any better when I took him shopping and he got to try on clothes to see if they fit. Fortunately, we had been given some church clothes that fit Yeb perfectly, but we still had to get shoes and socks for both boys, and clothes for Tam. thanks Granna and Grandad for outfitting them with what they needed!
