YEAH!


Our children all discover at the wonderful age of 2 that if they act out in sacrament meeting they will be promptly taken out into the hall so others in the meeting can enjoy an hour of the spirit. Once these 2 year olds are taken out into the hall they discover that they can run, giggle, and get the hallway all wet from the drinking fountain. This week my 2 year old thought that this was going to be the case... Until mom took him out and made him sit on her lap and let him cry. (I  apologies to all those that could hear him scream his head off during the meeting) He then thought that it would be best if he was safe with his father sitting in the chapel. He was still whimpering but had no notion of acting out and being contained on moms lap in the hall. Once sacrament meeting was over he leapt up onto his feet and began to Clap with much enthusiasm! Then begain yelling as loud as he could "YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!" the more he cheered the more happy he was with the thought that it was over. overwhelmed he started to cry. still clapping and yelling "YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!"
     I don't know if the containment had a positive reaction or if I messed with kids emotions. he may never want to go to sacrament meeting ever again and may be content with nursery for two hours. but we will see what happens next week.
