From the day they are born, some of my babies are not good public sleepers. They are too intense and determined not to miss anything. I am not kidding, even as newborns. Lydia is the queen of intensity. So my arms are usually a bit sore after Sunday Mass since I don't let my littles run around when we have to go to the back of church. Yesterday, after Mass we took the family out to lunch and attended a wonderful performance of The Sound of Music by a local homeschool group. I literally held Lydia for hours.
The perk that made me so happy? You guessed it, she fell asleep for all of the second half of the show. It is such a delight because I got to snuggle her and see most of the wonderful performance whose cast included many friends.
Wonderful performance Sarah, Elizabeth and Angela! Bravo!
Oh, that is wonderful! My boys are the same way. I like how you put it "not good public sleepers". You are the first person I know who nailed my sons' behavior. They wouldn't even fall asleep at the Easter Vigil, as as small infants. Life is too exciting.
