Sunday Best

These are typical outfits for church on Sunday. They look like they're going to their first prom, don't they?!

Tressa wants to wear this dress almost every Sunday because it makes her feel like a princess. She says "It's just like Cinderella's dress because it has wing tips [poofy sleeves], except Cinderella's dress in blue and mine is purple." She loves everything about Sundays...getting dressed up, going to church (especially primary), pizza (our usual Sunday lunch), and extra time with the family. She is so proud to be in the primary and absolutely LOVES it! Anytime someone asks her how old she is, stranger or not, she says "I'm 3 years old and I go to primary!" Last week she had to stay home because she was sick. She begged and begged me to go, but she really was not in good shape. I was late to church because I spent at least 15 minutes convincing her to stay home with Daddy. I think I had to bribe her in the end.

Corbin doesn't have much say in what he wears yet, so he often wears this suit to church. I think he looks so handsome and grown up in it. He is at that age when holding still is impossible, so church is sometimes challenging for him (and us)! I have to bring my bag of tricks (snacks, drinks, books, toys, blankie, crayons, etc., etc.) each week to keep him from literally bouncing off the walls and running through the chapel. He struggled for a while with the nursery (he didn't want me to leave him at first), but now he's doing really well. He likes the toys and the chaos. Last week I asked him if he had fun in the nursery and he said his first full sentence: "I did bubbles!" well...actually it was more like "I di bubbas!" but close enough!

My favorite thing about Sundays? Afternoon nap...for sure!
