October 9, 2011.
The Brother who was giving the opening prayer walks up to the pulpit. Cache folds his arms and squeezes his eyes shut. He is smiling because he knows he is doing exactly what he is supposed to.
...two minutes later (prayer is still going strong, we are still in the thanking portion)...
"Mom. He's just talking."
In a barely audible voice I whisper in his ear, "Cache, he is still praying."
In a voice that echoed through the chapel, "Dats a REALLY LONG PRAYER!!"
It was a very long prayer. Pretty sure the whole gym/overflow section of the chapel was trying not to LOL.
We had 3 baby blessings that day. During the second baby blessing Cache said, "I'm just gon fol' my arms. I am jus tired of prayin."
With 15 more minutes of the meeting left to go Cache is coloring. One of his little nursery friends runs over from across the aisle and takes a crayon and Cache says, "Excuse me. You are freaking me out!" Of course he would say that. That is how all 2 year olds respond to things like that, right?
5 minutes left to go we are singing the closing hymn... Cache is on my lap and decides to bust out some "Real Men Of Genius", you know the Budlight commercials.
Cache is singing, "Real Men of Genius. Mr. T-shirt launcher-inventor-make-nose-bleed-crack-budlight"
I notice that everyone on our row, the row in front of us and the back row have stopped singing and eyes are peering over shoulders. I will have to thank T.j for that one.
Mr. T-Shirt Launcher Inventor Song if you'd like to listen, it is pretty funny.
So after Sacrament Meeting we went to nursery with Cache for the last 2 hours of church.
FYI: Nursery is a great place to hide out when your child makes multiple offenses during Sacrament Meeting.
Here's to you, Mr. Doesn't-like-long-prayers-gets-freaked-out-by-crayon-stealers-and-is-not-afraid-to-shout-it-but-your-parents-still-love-you
Love,
Us
