pace and church--how will we survive the next year of sundays?

so, pace loves church, which is actually a problem, because his enthusiasm causes him to be very loud.  in our virginia ward, his loudness might have been able to be overlooked (given that there were approximately 100 other children his exact age making the same noises).  no such luck in florida.  i think there are only a total of 6 children under 3 in the whole ward.  and none of them are as exuberant about church as pace is.  he got the whole ward laughing not once, but twice, yesterday in sacrament meeting.  when loren takes him out of the chapel after all of our "be quiet" tricks have failed, pace waves to everyone, saying "bye bye" and loving every minute of it.  his second time out, he said "here we go!  bye bye!"  loren didn't come back in until the closing song, and then when the song ended, pace clapped and yelled "nursery!!!!"  sigh.  it really is a good thing he's so cute.

He's too cute. I wish someone in our ward was that entertaining.

too cute! i wish my 2-year-old's church issues were because she loved sacrament meeting so much. she does love nursery, but sacrament meeting is a chore for all of us . . . .

i love it! what a cute boy.

At least he enjoys all of church. Alena goes only for nursery so after anything that seems even slightly final(ie song, prayer sacrement etc) she shout "Now I can go to Nursery" among other embarassing antics.

Come back and fit in!

It's about time you get a little stinker! But, I agree that it would be worse if he did not like it. Dylan has reverence issues as well, he loves saying the prayer and gets mad at the end of the prayers in church yelling "I wanna say pare" Isn't that cute!

I bet they all love him.

When Tristan was Pace's age (and Ollie was a baby), Daniel was a ward clerk in a BYU freshman ward, so our kids were the only kids in the whole ward. Basically I just sat out in the hall the whole time.

That is so funny! He's so cute I'm sure everyone just loves everything he says. And I'm sure you'll have him retrained in no time and then the whole ward will miss the comic relief.

He just needs his moments to address his fans. You surly don't want to take that time away from him, do you?

I love it! I only wish I could witness it in person! I'm sure Rochelle is rolling on the floor laughing her guts out and celebrating the fact that you finally have a little boy!
