No Choir for this Kid

Today the Sunday School kids sang at the second service. This threw off our typical Sunday schedule as the second service is during nap time, but we all adjusted so we could see Gerrit make his first debute. We debated taking the video camera so you could see the big debute too but we knew better....
Gerrit did not want to go up front and only went because Luke was up there. Luke had to hold him (luckily it was 1 song) and Gerrit did not sing. He made Luke laugh because he kept asking where Dave was. 

I should back up and tell you all that before church, Gerrit threw a tantrum because we forced a sweater on him (Adam said he was acting as if we put a straight jacket on him!). So we changed his shirt, then he refused to wear shoes and a coat but we got that on him before he realized it as Anne was picking him up for Sunday School. I'm assuming Sunday School went well - he had blue hands which ended up on his face b/c he would wipe his eyes after crying during rehersal! He took his shoes off during the service (which we got back on just in time for singing), Adam spent 10 min. and 2 wet wipes trying to get the blue off his hands, and Emmit finally fell asleep 1/2 way thru the service (thankfully I didn't have to hold him too long as he is getting heavy!). Plus, it was packed but we got there early, knowing this would be the case! Uncle Travis showed up so he joined us at church. Luckily we have a few weeks before the Christmas program because he is going to need all the help he can get! 

(Or, I'll have to pay Luke to be by his side!)
