So, as usual conference was an experience with the kids! I began telling Eli there were "mean men" when we are in public to help encourage him to stay close by me. Of course today when we sat in the chapel for the Sunday morning session there was a old man sitting two rows back. He was a little gruff looking...and Eli noticed him immediately. Eli has two volumes: loud, and louder. So when he saw the old man he yelled, "Mom, MEAN MAN!" and started pointing. I tried really hard to shush him and explained he was a nice man...then Eli started yelling, "Want to say hi to good man! HEY, GOOD MAN!"
About 5 minutes later he noticed a REALLY old man, probably in his 80's. I thought he was cute, sitting there all hunched over with his wife. Eli again started to yell...only this time...he thought the old man looked like a baby, I'm guessing becuase he was small?! He said, "mom, a baby man!" over and over and over again!
Just when I thought I might get to listen, Eli crawled under the bench up two rows where there was a younger couple. The guy was flopped back, totally sleeping away! Eli sort of snuck up and then, very reverently, jumped up and yelled, "you sleeping?"
I spent the remainder of the session in Relief Society room with him...much quieter for the rest of the chapel!

too funny. We are very lucky and have BYU TV so we get to watch it at home. I am so glad we do not have to watch it at a chapel. We use to watch it one the interent before we had cable. have you tried that?
How fun! I would have laughed hysterically! Oh' what troopers you are to got to the church house to watch it. I just threathen my kids with having to do that if they don't sit reverently at home and listen, but i would dislike it the most if I ever really havd to follow through with that threat!
That is so funny! Yeah he is you and Nate's child for sure!!!
I guess that will teach you to take your kids to conference! LOL You're more than welcome to join us next time to watch it on tv! Everyone says that you'll be blessed for doing stuff like taking your kids to conference but I think it's just going to make me die sooner. Anyway, thanks for giving me a laugh this morning!

well, did I mention we do this by choice? we thought it makes more impression on our children to attend the morning session at church(not that we care one way or the other if you don't)...and usually its on cable, but this year we didn't get it! super fun!!!
thanks for the laugh! ha!
Love it!...We tried listening to conference on Saturday at home, and then a family from the ward invited ut to their house for Sundays two sessions...their kids played with the girls the whole day! It was a great break, even if it was at someone else's house.
