Easter Sunday and Sacrament, sure makes for a really long, drawn out Sacrament. Poor, poor Remi. We barely made it through Sacrament today. The ward is small, homely individuals, with super friendly elderly and a few children around Remi's age and a few more than that around Tate's age.
I only spoke to a few of the Church officials (ha ha ha! can't even tell you what their positions are, let alone names), and some of the elder women. Brother whatever his name was David/Davis? was quick to get my information (to pull records?). I did explain, though he thought I was joking, that this was for Remi if she wanted it and I myself though baptized am not a willing active member and that Zack is in NO WAY interested and doesn't even want them dropping in at the house. I may have to repeat this to them so they are good and clear on this.
It was hard, I will not lie, for me to sit through Sacrament. Religion is just not for me, but who really knows, it may be something Remi understands, relates to and enjoys and I can give her a few hours on Sunday for her to figure this out. I think it may be a good social opportunity for her and maybe teach her some patience. I am leaving it entirely up to her though. If she finds that she doesn't like it or doesn't want to go then we won't.
She didn't mind today but said it was boring sitting still, being quiet and listening to the boring people up front. I concur, very boring, uninteresting and difficult to keep still for so long. I asked after Sacrament if she wanted to go to Primary and meet the other children and she said yes but NOT today, and maybe next Sunday.
So if we do go next Sunday because Remi wants to, we will definitely NOT be going to Sacrament and I will bring some knitting or crochet to get me through RS if I don't choose to sit it out in the vestibule with my Kindle while the girls try out church. The things you are willing to do to expand and enrich your kid's horizons, social network, and broaden their scope of what is available and out there for them. *sigh*
On a positive note, I did get to wear my heels. I rarely have a chance or a place to do that.
