The New Way We Do Church

Ugh, so we tried sooo hard to get Isabella to be down with going to the nursery at church but after a Christmas Eve meltdown that lasted pretty much the whole service (our friend was working in one of the other rooms and saw people taking turns toting our crying kid around in an effort to calm her:( we decided we needed to stop forcing the issue for now.

J.T. suggested we try taking her and watching service from the TV in the coffee shop in our church lobby to try to get her acclimated with us being with her.  So I packed a backpack of stuff to try to keep her occupied and they have some toys in the lobby as well so we made our first attempt.  We ended up taking turns walking around with her until I finally gave up and turned Bubble Guppies on my phone for her to watch (SMH).

We will keep trying for a couple weeks.  Though I'm not thinking this may not be what we are looking for, but appreciate J.T. for trying to come up with a potential solution.

Interesting side note-there are normally about a handful of families with toddlers about Isabella's age out in the lobby wandering around as well.  Both last Sunday and this Sunday I noticed they were all girls.  What is up with girls born in 2017?  Give your mamas and daddies a break, will ya:)?!?!
