We were on our way to church this morning when Griffin gave us another one of his priceless comments. We were driving when his sweet little voice says, "I love you, Mommy". So I say, "I love you too, buddy". Then Griffin follows that up with pointing to his father and then saying, "And his name is Brent". Not exactly what daddy was hoping to hear next.
Our family got to light the candle on the Advent wreath today. I was pretty nervous, but it went well. Right before we were getting ready to walk behind the choir, Griffin decided to throw a mini-tantrum and did not want to go. We gave in and let him carry this lacing board toy from the children's quiet bag. It worked:) We had a lot to juggle between carrying Gray, holding a microphone and a hymnal, lighting a candle, and keeping Griffin in check. The associate minister told us to just let "Griffin run around and do whatever he wants to do" once he was up at the alter. Her point was that he probably couldn't get into too much trouble. Not sure about that, but he did decide to cooperate. He even spoke into the microphone and said his "We light this candle as a symbol of peace" line. The feedback we got from most people was that it went well adn that we are brave for putting a microphone in front of a 3-year-old.
