Our Angel aka Madi

We had a "fun" experience yesterday as a family. Yesterday, we went to church. Joe had to give a talk and I was to take care of the 3 kids. Madi wanted to sit with a friend. I thought that was a great idea all things considered. Then another sister offered to hold Annika. I thought wow this is great, I just have Gavin. I can do this. Joe was the last speaker . We were doing great. Joe gets up to the pulpit to speak. All of a sudden Madi bolts out of her seat to go give Joe a hug. Ok, I thought, that is fine. Well, she decided not to go back down and sit with her friend. So, I grab Gavin and hand him over to the Sirrine Family. I walk up to the front of the room to get Madi and take her back down to sit. No big deal right? WRONG...She then decides to throw a full fit. I was trying to pick her up to take her away as fast as possible. I then feel her body stiffen and her dress is slick and she slid right through my arms. GRRR...Meanwhile she is crying and squealing, "No, No, No....something something something". I can't remember because I was so thoroughly embarrassed. She is too big for me to pick her up and whisk her away. She wouldn't come and sit with me. Yes, I did feel worse at that point. So, I sat her down with her friends family, "threatened her" and then went and sat down. My heart and mind were racing. Needless to say she did get a good talking to on the way home from church. I had to put a picture of her when she looks so innocent and sweet. After yesterday I needed the reminder. Another joy of motherhood.

P.S. Thanks to the Taylors, Comforts, and Sirrines for helping me.
