It was a bit of a rough day. Joshua is pushing all the buttons right now.
We had instructions that the children singing were to wear their "Christmas Best" as they were leading worship this afternoon. So, our son, who was upset last night that he did not have a suit coat to wear to the Puppet Theater - and "settled" for a shirt and tie, would not dress up for church this afternoon. He ended up wearing his new tennis shoes, khaki slacks, and a guitar t-shirt. The mention of the guitar t-shirt at this point would be foreshadowing.
Joshua did well in the first half of the singing. He was a little fidgety and couldn't seem to stop waving at us - but did sing along. For some reason, even though he knew where we were sitting and waved at us the whole time, he didn't know how to find us when it was his time to join us. So he wandered a bit and then got a little frightened and was very snuggly for a bit.
Then Joshua was my sweet kid for a few minutes and asked if he could go give Rev. Jenna a hug. I think she was surprised, but he gave a real good hug.
Then he got antsy and had to go sit with Layne, Jacob and Zackary in the front row with Miss Wendy. He started to get real silly and I had to go sit with him and use my Mommy Voice and give him the Mommy Look a few times. So when it was time for him to go back and sing he was so not happy.
He stood up there in front of church with his arms crossed and shooting daggers at me. Then he started taking his choir robe off and playing air guitar with his t-shirt. We were soooo proud. The best was when he started giving me 2 thumbs down - just to make sure I really knew how upset he was with me.
I at least got a cute picture of the 3 of them in front of the Christmon Tree. You wouldn't know the day we had and they yelling and screaming that is coming from upstairs by Joshua when looking at this picture.
Well - Merry Christmas!!!!!
