The go the church thing didn’t happen – Whew. Watched at home while eating dinner and noisy little cousins roamed around. Not a bad session. It was Uchtdorf which is always nice. Ironically my entire TBM family let out a small whoop when it was announced he would be the concluding speaker.My wife doesn’t usually watch at home, but she didn’t want to go to the activity our ward was doing with another so she did stay home. I also found it interesting she let out a little whoop when Uchtdorf was announced. She knows I love him and I knew she likes him but I didn’t know she liked him that much.
I’m glad you survived.
Hi, I am glad it worked out for you.
I had had visions of snuggling my oldest daughter while being spiritually fed during the Women’s conference. Yeah, no that did not happen.
My daughter is 7.75 years old, so I thought she was finally old enough.
My husband was at the end of his rope and being curt to all of us Saturday afternoon, so I took both our 7.75 year old daughter (close enough in age to the cutoff) and my 1 year old (still under the baby rule) up to the church building.
DD#1 played in the nursery during the RS festivities (I didn’t have the heart to pull her out and checked on her periodically) and DD#2 held court on the carpet. DD#1 spent the session munching deserts and trying to compete with her sister to snuggle in my lap. They were both tired, so not showing their most quiet and respectful selves. I had cordoned off 1 row of the chapel for DD#2 to play in (we had a total of 8 sisters come up to the chapel for conference, so it’s not like I was competing for space) and that seemed to help for a while. I did get snippets of the conference, and cherish Pres. Uchtdorf’s talk between tending the needs of both of them.
As near as I can tell, my RS sisters were compassionate to me and my daughters (non-judgemental) even though I don’t know that I made the best judgement call in bringing them. It helps that most of the sisters who attended are approaching the age where hearing loss is becoming an issue, and they may have been sitting up front and actually not heard my daughters.
Hugs to you Amy. I admire you for the care and effort that you clearly give to you daughters. :clap: Amy – that is beautiful. I am sorry you didn’t get full snuggle time, but I am glad you followed your heart. That alone is huge personal gift to yourself. Three cheers for no one complaining. Thanks Roy and Mom3. I hadn’t thought about it that way. I had been focused on what I felt went wrong instead what what may have gone right:)
