So, I am trying really hard to figure out what to do to make Gehrig behave at church. Nothing serious. Really he is just bored and goofs off, but also needs to learn to be respectful. We have tried many things (unsuccessfully). Including: time outs, pulling weeds (my favorite), yelling (I know that isn't the best --- but I am being honest), etc. So finally this past Sunday I told him that I wasn't going to be at church to make sure he behaved (the babies and Emma were sick) and that if I heard from his teacher that he was naughty I was going to take his Nintendo DS away. Fast forward to after church. I asked him how church was and he said that he was good. Sometimes he isn't completely honest so I told him I was going to call his teacher to make sure. I get her on the phone and she kind of laughed a bit when I told her why I was calling. Apparently as their class started he was chosen to say the prayer. This is what he said:
"Dear Heavenly Father, please help me to be a good boy so that I can go home and get my DS back. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen." LOL
I guess none of the other kids knew what in the world was going on because they didn't say "amen". Side note, it did work. He was REALLY good. I think I have a winner. :D

That is really funny! Ü Whatever you can do to get the kids to behave at church! I am right there with ya!
That is so funny you actually made me laugh out loud " ) Way to be creative!
Love the idea of a digi scrapbook blog! I do digi scrapbooking myself and I LOVE it!! I am not a pro, though I do have fun " )
AWESOME... Also, if you need something for during sacrament I have a book that you can copy LDS file folder games out of. It might help keep them good for a couple of weeks until they get bored of it. We used file folder games in the preschool I worked in and the kids loved them.
How funny...what a memory to keep and giggle at! dontcha just love kids they are so BAD at times and good at others
I'm glad you found something that works. We have yet to find something that always works with our Hannah. We find something that we think works, but the next time it doesn't seem to matter. I hope you have better luck & a less willful child!
