Viva & Prayer

Genevieve is a big fan of church.

Or, to be more exact, she is a big fan of the church nursery.

Every Sunday we wake the kids up early, dress them up fancy, and head off for 3 hours of church. First hour is Sacrament meeting, and the kids (and Grandma or I) go to nursery for the second 2 hours. We go because Jake refuses to go alone - refer back to the post all about Jackson. He's a sensitive soul, you know!

This Sunday we walked into the chapel and Genevieve said:

"No! Nursery!".

I figured it might be another long 1st hour.

Our 70 minute Sacrament meeting has 4 prayers in it.

The 1st one went okay. Genevieve was silent.

During the 2nd one she said "Amen!". "Amen!". "Amen!". "Amen!". Loudly. While the prayer was still being said.

During the 3rd one she said "Again?!".

At the end of the 4th one she said "Amen!!! Now nursery!!!".

She's cute. A little impatient, but cute.

Of course... her great attention to the prayer and participation doesn't extend out of the chapel. We are still trying to teach the kids the value in kneeling nicely and paying attention during prayer. Example enough doesn't seem to be cutting it. We'll get there though!
