Lexi at Church

Lexi finally seems to be getting the hang of church – or at least some parts of it. She wants to stand (or be picked up) when everyone else does and today she wanted a book to look at when I was holding the hymnal. She knows how to walk up to communion including standing patiently in line while we wait for a space to open up at the communion rail. She kneels down for her blessing and gets up when prompted to walk back to our seat. Of course, she always is more well behaved if there is another child around. The girl sitting behind us came up and colored with Lexi for a while so that kept her occupied. There still is a lot of ‘pick me up’, ‘put me down’, ‘standing on the pew so make sure I don’t fall off’ so I don’t always feel I have a good worship experience but at least she is mostly quiet.
