Waving at any of my good church friends, reading this blog, whose little darlings sit so angelically at church for them...because they really do, and I am envious! (And for the record, I know you all don't drug your children with Tylenol...) My children, in utero, waited till the preacher started preaching before doing jumping jacks and pull-ups in the womb. So I knew I had my work cut out for me... Let it reassure you that they've all turned into good children...though my youngest is still a work in progress! Hee hee!

And I've seen some angelic kids in Church...but there was always my family which had 5 kids and as toddlers youngsters I know we were never those quiet creatures that some parents are blessed with (or make that way if they do the Tylenol thing like you said!). I am guessing Kyle will fit into the noisy, energetic bunch if he keeps up how he is now! I can't keep up to him and he is just learning to walk...I can't imagine in a few years time!

God gave me loud, wiggly children (at least when they were toddlers) so we've had our share of "interruptive" moments at weddings, for sure, can't remember any at funerals off the top! I do wonder sometimes, if parents drug their kids with Tylenol before the church services, because their toddlers sit so nicely and/or fall asleep on their parent half the time. Mine never did this, at least not past the infant stage. Unless I remembered to pack snacks and coloring books............... :S Oh, I didn’t mean you shouldn’t have taken him, I just understand because I’ve been there.

But I think everyone was mostly happy to have him there. I think it was me who was bothered most by it (well not bothered but I was trying to keep him quiet and respectful). It was my Dad's aunt (my Great-Aunt) who passed away and I think that it meant alot to my Dad just the fact that Kyle and I showed up since a few others with children didn't go (or left the children at home).

I totally understand...and I didn't have time to email you yesterday. Let me email you, and then you'll have my email in your account to use whenever you have a chance. :) Poor Kyle! He's too young to observe "funeral etiquette"! No worries, Geri! I totally understand…and I didn’t have time to email you yesterday.

Poor Kyle! He’s too young to observe “funeral etiquette”!

I will try emailing it again. I have had a busy past couple days. I had a funeral to go to with Kyle on Thursday (he laughed through it!) Much to the dismay of several people! But most people were very happy to have a little one to lighten the mood. And then yesterday (my sister is visiting) so we spent the day in my hometown visiting and didn't get back till late. Sorry.
