Diaper Suprise

Ephraim played Yahtzee with Mom and Dad tonight. It was a race to see how quickly he could get between Mom and Dad to pick up the dice after we rolled them. Unfortunately this required a quick look, and sufficient memory to make the wisest move, and correct calculation of points on our part. At one point he got the dice and when retrieved from his grasp, only four were found. We joked that he probably was hiding the last one in his diaper, but thankfully found it under a sheet of paper moments later. Sadly though our diaper joke held true later that evening when we found a lil' yellow circular chip (bout the size of a nickel) lodged nicely in his stinky. It was one of the chips used in Yahtzee for some reason unknown to me. Anyhow it just reminds me of my lil' siblings and their clever tactics of hiding valuables in their diapers. And so it begins with my darling son.

Speaking of being a lil' darling I do need to give him credit for much improved behavior at Church today. Church has been difficult for him overall because of the time frame, and nap interference etc... But last week was a whopper to say the least. I had to take him to my YW Presidency meeting right before church, cause Adam had PPI's. And lets just say I don't recollect a time where I've been more frustrated and aggravated with my child since he's come into my life. He was KING KONG of FUSSINESS and refused to be consoled with granolla bars. Mainly because his mother refused to allow him to pull down metal chairs and hurt himself. In the end I held him in my arms by the door and allowed him to flip the light switch on and off to keep him from screaming. Needless to say the other women who I serve with were very patient with the whole situation. And afterwards Mommy had to take a walk around the block to cool down sufficiently to attend Sacrament meeting.
