The Big People Church

It was a pay back weekend. We had 2 classes to make up - maths and TKD, having missed them to go to Port Dickson last week. The weekend ended up super packed with so many classes. The kids were tired and Lil Isaac fussed to skip church after the maths class.

Bcos we now have maths class on Sunday morning, we now have lesser chance of skipping church from laziness since we are already out of the house. Looks like maths on early Sundaty morning has its advantage. However, that doesn't stop the boy from kicking up a fuss when I had to leave him in Sunday School. Lil Shauna is forever independent. She loves attending Sunday school, where she gets to play games sometimes and collects stamps in exchange for nice gifts every few months. She is totally motivated.

Lil Isaac refused to go to Sunday school even when I offered to stay with him.. for a while. He said that he wanted to go with me to the "adult" church. I tried to persuade him by telling him how boring it is (for children) but he insisted. OK lor, but the ground rule is that he cannot run around and too noisy or we have to head back to the Sunday School.  Oh boy, he was excited.

It was fortunate that church wasn't too crowded and we had several seats for the boy to toss and turn. The first thing that he asked was whether there would be holy communion. He likes the wafer and grape juice for the wrong reason but he does understand the meaning behind those actions. He was generally well behaved and didn't move too much than that few empty seats. He declined my offer to send him back to Sunday school midway. The sequence of the service was very similar to Sunday School, just that the "bible story was so long", complained the boy and "there was no pictures". Lol.

At the end of service, he agreed that the adult church is very boring and his Sunday school is so much better. Lol.  He readily agreed to go back to his Sunday school the next week. Hehe. Looks like it is a good choice to let him attend the main service. He has verified for himself that mummy wasn't having more fun without him when he goes to Sunday school. I concentrated better bcos I had to set a good model for him and did not reach out to check my hp as frequently. Yeah!
