This is how I’m dressed most Sunday mornings because church with Daniel is really difficult:<\/p>\n
When I say that church with Daniel is really difficult, I’m not kidding. Like most 4.5 year olds, he can’t sit still. Unfortunately, I can’t placate him with picture books or crayons — his autistic stimming behavior is opening\/closing doors and flicking light switches which, as you can imagine, does not go over well. I usually station us in the back where I can drag a chair to the middle of the doorway and catch the sanctuary doors as he opens\/closes them. It’s not the least bit worshipful for me and while almost everyone says they are OK with it, there are people who give me the stink eye. So.. I usually do the lectionary readings<\/a> and watch Mass<\/a> on TV.<\/p>\n This morning, my precious sweetling was up at 6:45 (!!!!) and I couldn’t get back to sleep so there was no compelling reason for me not to try to take him. He had done fine the last time I did (January) so I thought it would be OK. Let’s just say that by the end of Jon’s sermon, one of the ushers had taken him for a walk so I could retreat to the bathroom and cry because IT WAS THAT BAD. I pushed through and made it to the end (props to the other usher for taking him for a walk during Communion so I could go up and receive without having to carry my squirrely boy); but after this morning’s debacle, I think I’m off the hook for attending worship until at least… Easter?<\/p>\n So… photographic proof that I do clean up well:<\/p>\n As for the boy child (who was laughing uproariously as this picture was taken):<\/p>\n Go see the other pretty ladies<\/a> at Fine Linen and Purple<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is how I’m dressed most Sunday mornings because church with Daniel is really difficult: Shirt: Old Navy Pants: Target Demonic Cat: All Creatures Animal Hospital (Granville, OH) When I say that church with Daniel is really difficult, I’m not … Continue reading ![\"My](\"http:\/\/grace-filled.net\/wiws0316201401.jpeg\")
