Funny Story

I keep forgetting to share this story, so I thought I'd put it here, so I don't keep telling the same people. A few Sundays ago, we were sitting on the end of the second row in Sacrament meeting, and were the only people on our row. I was sitting on the aisle, Donny was next to me and Katy was on the other side of him. We were right in the middle of sacrament when Katy jetted down the row to the other end before Donny could grab her. So, I had to get up and walk in front of the whole room to go get her. The water was being passed to the row behind us at the other end and before I could get to her, Katy ran down to the sacrament tray, took a cup, drank it and put it in the empty cup hole. She was so proud of herself for doing it so I told her "good job" and then she was happy to sit on my lap. The Elder who was passing the sacrament started laughing and the people behind her were laughing, then I looked up at the front and the whole Branch Presidency was laughing. I looked down the row at Donny and he was hunched over with his head in his hands and his shoulders were just shaking. Our branch is so small and the "chapel" is so small that I think everyone in the room saw it happen and laughed. She has never wanted to take the sacrament before and I didn't think she was paying any attention, but she knew exactly what she was doing. She doesn't miss a thing!

Good for her! That's cute that she wanted to do it all by herself--and apparently couldn't wait! What a sweetheart!

Laura,
wow I am so glad that you found me. You guys are so cute. Our kids are about the same age. Jayden is 19 months. That is awesome. Keep in contact.

That is such a cute story. Keeping a blog helps me write things down too. She sounds like such a fun little girl!

That's great! Katy can come to sacrament meeting with us anytime. She'd fit right in.
