Our Not So Reverent Yet Still Way Too Incredibly Cute For His Own Good Boy

We had a really nice Sunday with Jonathan's family. Church was nice and quite eventful, with the power going off twice during Sacrament Meeting, and with James not wanting to sit still whatsoever or be quiet at all during the meeting - or fall asleep, for that matter. Needless to say, I missed a huge portion of the meeting walking up and down hallways trying to get the boy to fall asleep (he was so ready for a nap but would not give in). Ironically, all of the talks were about reverence and I felt a little bad that my little boy was so ... not reverent.

Jonathan played the organ for Sacrament Meeting, and I filled in for the Primary pianist while Jonathan's Mom filled in for the Primary chorister. It was a lot of fun (and Jonathan was so sweet to take our tired boy for the last two hours of church!) and Jonathan's Mom was so cute with the kids. I think my favorite part was when they sang "Once There Was a Snowman" in "opera style."

James fell asleep in his car seat on the way home and hardly woke up when his Daddy got him out of the car, carried him in the house, unzipped his coat and loosened his shirt collar - and then he even slept for awhile in his playard! I had to share these pictures because they are seriously two of the cutest ones ever, and I cannot believe I got them to upload using dial-up internet! Go me. That's patience for you.



Tonight we got James all ready for bed, read him his books (including his Scripture Stories which luckily we remembered this time!), said prayers and kissed him goodnight - after which he gave me four or five huge wet kisses right on my face while even saying a "mma - mma - mma" kissing sound! Talk about cute. My face was kinda wet and sticky afterward, which was a bit disconcerting considering the fact that he's got a really runny nose today, but I didn't mind because it was just so darn cute. I was also glad he didn't bite me, like he did the last time he kissed his Daddy.
