Home church

Phoebe was so baffled by "home church" on Sunday that she hardly knew what to do with herself. It's a little strange to us that she can't remember "home church," but she can't...so I think all these pandemic babies will turn out alright. 

Sometimes when I remember that I had to go through labour with a mask on, wasn't allowed to leave my hospital room for any reason, and was only allowed to have a single visitor in the hospital...it feels like some strange dream. But that's the world she was born into. 

And I know people thought we were crazy for keeping her home from church (and all social situations) for so long, but I really don't think it's had a lasting impact on her psyche. 

All that is to say that we had "home church" on Sunday and Phoebe thought it was so interesting. 

First she wanted to know whether she had to change into church clothes. When I told her she could stay in her pyjamas she was overjoyed. She loves a good pyjama day!

She thought it was awesome that we had our own little sacrament trays. 

And she loved watching Joseph Smith: The Prophet of the Restoration, which is what we did for our lesson time.

I was secretly relieved to get a break from singing time (I'd done so much playing in the snow that I was behind in my schoolwork plans and thus hadn't even looked at singing time) but I'm glad we'll be back this week. I've been low-key on the lookout for a Wheel-of-Fortune spinny wheel thing (mostly on the Buy Nothing Group) for singing time and...I just got one today!

Andrew picked it up for me while I was on campus today so I just saw it when I got home and it's much bigger than I expected...which will be great for primary (less great for storing the thing, but that's okay).
