Church Talk

Today I gave a talk in church on honoring the Sabbath. Since I was one of the speakers, I spent the meeting sitting on the stand at the front rather than in the pews. Toward the end of the meeting Noah, who was sitting in the pews with Ben and Sam, stood up and waved at me, then kept saying, "Mama, come down!" and "Sit on bench!" while pointing to the pew. It was very funny.

On an unrelated note, ever since Ben got The Clapper for Christmas, Noah thinks that everything can be controlled by clapping his hands. Yesterday at the mall, he clapped his hands so the elevator doors would open. Then, when he was playing with an empty suitcase (Ben and I were luggage shopping) the bag tipped onto his leg and he tried clapping his hands to get it off. I'm sure it doesn't help that everything he claps about magically gets taken care of (by me or Ben) right when his clapping stops.

Here's a random picture of my funny little guy, just for fun (his darling outfit was sent from Singapore by Grandma and Grandpa):
