  • No, I know what you mean... Funnily enough, my childhood church was a big gothic building and boring as anything when we were children... My current modern one is fantastic, there's regular youth services and they do special activities for the children based around themes such as the wizard of oz or narnia... Aimee loves her children's church :D

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

  • Krystal - maybe that's it Church was boring when we were children as they never did services/included children whereas now the children are involved.

    At our church Children are allowed to take Communion, ours do a youth service if there is a 5th Sunday in the month which is followed by a cake and lemonade soda sale - Katie loves this one as she gets a flag to wave!

  • It could just be a generaltional shift couldn't it... I love when the children get involved in the service... Although half the time I'm biting back tears... I'm so emotional now lol!!

  • I didn't get chance to get emotional at Katie being a star in the Nativity this year, I was too busy trying to control the rest of them!

    just back on for a sec, i know this is naughty but i dont really want little man to wake up to give medicine but would like him to have more before i go to bed so if i put it in a bottle with say 1oz of juice and sit whilst he drinks it would i be a terrible mother?? i hate juice in bottles but dont want his temp to go up again. what would you do?

    talking of churches my gran was in the salvation army and thats where i was baptised, i attended a catholic school and i dont go to church at all? i think the salvation army scared me!

  • Caz - I'd give him the juice it's only once and it will make him feel better.

    I don't wake mine for medicine.. I give them it IF they wake.. if they are asleep they feel fine IMO. DS2 has growth hormone replacement.. I have been known to give him his injections while he was asleep though!

  • Caz, you do what you have to to get the medicine in him tonight and just brush his teeth well tomorrow... Once won't hurt, it's not like it's coca cola every day or anything...

    And you should eBay the clothes!
