The little guy has become very vocal lately so it seems I spend more time pacing and chasing than participating at church lately. This is VERY hard for me as I love to be able to participate. True I can participate quietly from the 'rubber room' (that is what I call it at times) and I can sort of see what is going on. I can hear almost everything too. I just miss being in the midst of things. I know this too will pass but I must admit it is hard for me. This is a time when I wish we taught our kids to love pacifiers or that they weren't genetically so active. Their cute selves are their cute selves though so I guess I should stop whining. Some of the moms seem to take this all in stride. I do but.....I guess I am a whiner.....today.
He is doing a lot better it seems in the health department so I am thankful for that. His well-baby appointment is tomorrow so we will see how big he is. It will be interesting to talk to the doc about the allergist visit. I will try to update that whole confusion tomorrow but I am feeling much better about his overall well being lately. His skin has been beautiful for which I am truly VERY thankful.

Seriously, is this anything like the question of whether or not the organist is participating in the service if he/she is busy looking up the next hymn or summat? The organist is fulfilling his/her vocation.
I imagine vocation is exactly what your mom is concerned about - concerned that her vocation as mother might interfere with her vocation as Christian. (though I take no exception to her behavior)
I guess I simply miss being able to pay attention. I know my vocation as his mother is VERY important too so will have to switch gears a little for awhile. I am also completely blessed with stimulating conversations, being able to read God's word, catechism, listen to the sermons later online...I will continue to process all this and learn new tactics.....
I'm hearing that you want us to switch around the liturgy a little more so that you can't follow anything. :)
Glad to hear he's doing better; I think I heard Charley say he did indeed gain some weight?

Oh yes, please start up an infant nursery would you please?
Stefan is 18 lbs 4 oz now - 20th percentile in weight, 75th in head circumference - yay brains....
Oh, oh, I get it....write up something different every week so I will not be able to participate at all. I'm sort of slow. No thanks for the offer.....
For the confused, the only part I can participate in at times is the liturgy itself. I may not be able sing the hymns but I can count on the liturgy staying the same.
