To say the least church was quite comical this morning. David Fraze is our new family minister and he was doing the sermon this morning and was talking about how we all have disfunctional families somehow. David made an example like "Don't we all have a crazy uncle?", my daughter proceeds to answer him loudly "No!". Of course we were at the back of the church and the whole church starts laughing hysterically. The funniest part is David responded to her saying "yes you do!". I was bright red. Then Kyler goes on to say, "why is everyone laughing!" Thankfully everyone loved us and we didn't get kicked out of church quite yet. Oh my precious, loud daughter. I don't know where she gets her loudness from?!? :) The funniest thing was she was coloring during the sermon so I didn't even think she was listening but obviously she was!
On to a sadder note . . . we are trying to break Kole of his pacifier. I thought I would start last night because Mother's Day Out starts back in a couple of weeks so I wanted him to be done with it. I cut off the tips of his pacifiers and still kept them in his bed. When I put him in bed last night he handed his pacifier to me and said "broke". He then proceeded to cry for an hour but then I rocked him and he actually slept all night, which I was very impressed with. Today, nap time was not such a success. He cried from 2:00 - 4:15 and then I felt like an abusive parent so I just had to get him up but I am proud that I did not give him his pacifier he just didn't get a nap. He is bawling right now so we will see how tonight goes. I feel so bad for him b/c he is such a sweet boy but I want to stay strong so we can get this over with. From everything that I have read they say it takes about three nights so I am hoping we are almost at the half way point. Kyler didn't use a pacifier, just her thumb, so this is all new to me. I feel like a horrible parent. He is such a good sleeper right now with his pacifier. He slept until 10:30 - 11:00 4x last week so I don't want to ruin it by taking away his pacifier. The agony of motherhood. I hate seeing my kids cry!
One more kid story and I will end. On the way to church there was a beautiful rainbow and Kyler said can I slide on it and can Jesus catch me? I begin to cry and then she continues saying, I'll let Kole go first so that Jesus can catch him and then me. What a blessing my children are.
Have a great week!

Oh April, we LOVED that episode, and now that we know it was Kyler, we love it even more! It was adorable.
And so are your kids.
Love,

I had no idea that was Kyler, but it was the cutest thing!! What a sweet blessing your kiddos are. Thanks for sharing your stories!
Great post!
I wish I could have been there . . . for all of it.
We sure missed you this weekend!
Oh man...why did I have to miss church yesterday?! Charlie's very attached to his pacifier too so you'll have to give me tips later when he has to give it up! I LOVE the rainbow story!
That is very sweet and a very funny story.
Hope you are done with the pacifier soon! Good luck!!!
I knew it was Kyler and it made me laugh so hard! She is a nut.
Good luck with the paci. I can't imagine. Hang in there.
How funny about Kyler in church. Wish I could've heard her in person :)
Keep us posted on what works with Kole and his pacifier. Will really only uses his when he is tired/sleeps, but I don't want him to have it for too much longer. I am anxious to hear how it goes with Kole.
Thanks for the stories!
Cute stories April! I can picture Kyler now, trying to steal the show in church. The rainbow story melts my heart!
That was funny...I'm think my husband is that "crazy" uncle.
I feel bad for Kole! The way you describe him, he reminds me of Kyle. I hope it goes smooth for you guys, it's hard to see them like that when they want something.
