Today Ava Was Good In Church

Sometimes it can be a little difficult to keep you contained and content for any length of time. 

Your mobile and want to explore the world around you, we get that. 

One of the more difficult things to do is keep you content at Church. The claustrophobic size of the pews doesn't allow for much movement. 

Admittedly, we stopped going to Church for a little while in order to allow those surrounding us to receive the message they came to hear. 

That changed when I read an article telling young parents to bring their children to Church rather than stay home. It said that no matter how noisy or fussy the child may become, it's still more beneficial to have them there. 

I sent that to mom and we both agreed.

We've been going to St. Anthony's All Saints Parish in downtown Canton and this morning, though a little busy, you were very well behaved. 

Like last week, you made friends with the little girl behind us and the elderly people surrounding us. 

At one point, as Father Bishop was delivering his sermon, you stood up tall on my lap so you could see and looked right at him and listened intently. 

It was refreshing for mom and me to see you well-behaved at Mass.

Let's keep it up!
