Chris has officially taught Makenna a bad habit. Well, bad in my opinion, of chewing ice. She loves to play with ice in a cup, as to be expected, but now she also likes to get it small enough to put in her mouth and crunch on. I can't stand it when Chris does it, especially during movies where everything is quiet except the "crunch, crunch, crunch" happening from his mouth. Now I have two children doing it. Great!
Other than that, another typical Sunday. I did go back to church tonight for a woman's conference, that was actually broadcast yesterday in the states, but they showed it here tonight. I hate to sound stupid when I ask them questions, but I showed up a few minutes late and it was showing in black in white. So I stupidly asked, "is it always shown in black and white?" Madonna laughed and said, yes, they are way behind the times. Then she clarified and said that they had technical problems when recording it from yesterday. After, they had hot chocolate and desserts. They had whip cream in a can and I broke the spout it comes out of. I thought it was like the type they have back at home where you press it to one side or another to get it to come out. Well, it wasn't. There was an actual lip type thing that you were supposed to be pushing. Now I really felt embarrassed. Luckily they still had a couple other cans.
Chris went to his church this morning and the priest was retiring. I guess it was really sad as he had been there for 10 years and it reminded him a lot of when his dad retired from Good Shepherd back at home. St. Marks, here in the area is very popular and it will be interesting to see how well they survive the change like Good Shepherd did. St. Marks is who holds the play group that Makenna attends on Wednesdays.
We also were smarter in that we put Makenna down for a nap when we got back home from church. We tried going without one last Sunday afternoon and realized she still needs one, not only for her sake but for ours as well. Even if it's only for an hour. It makes for a much better, happier evening. One other things she's doing is bargaining before naps or bedtime. It's time to brush teeth, wash hands, get a drink, eat some fruit, or watch Dora or some other show. She runs the gambit in trying different things to see what she can get away with. Usually I do the brush teeth and wash hands. As for the other things, it depends on how much time she has before she's actually going to bed. I just think it's funny that she tries all these things now. She certainly is "brilliant" as they say over here.
