Last year we had church starting at 1pm. Most people would hate that time, but for us it was perfect.
Lyla still takes 2 naps a day. Sometimes she can go without her afternoon nap, but her morning nap is something she can't live without. 10am and she's asleep. So when we had church at 1pm, it was perfect. She usually wakes up at 7:30am, we have breakfast, play and then she naps. Daniel and I get ready for church. Lyla wakes up at noon, we have lunch and we are off to church.....well rested and a full belly.
But now we have church at 9am. By the time sacrament meeting is over, Lyla is getting a little nutty. And it just keeps going downhill from there. She can't sleep with so much going on because she's so excited by her surroundings. So I spend the next 2 hours doing everything I can to keep her happy and busy. It's really hard, and it makes me dread going to church.
I know it will get better, and it wont be like this forever...... but for right now, it's hard.

It is so hard when church doesn't line up well with kids schedule. William has been on a nursery strike the last few months which makes things tricky. Sometimes I feel guilty for not looking forward to church every week. I have to remind myself that even if I don't much out of it is important to go so my kids know how important it is. I also have to try extra hard to study the lessons during the week since I rarely get to listen to them on Sunday. Hang in there you are doing great.
It took me three tries to correctly read the words that prove I'm not a robot so I could leave a comment. They were tricky ones.
