So, Sundays are a bit of a joke for the Meyerson clan. The morning is great, relaxed and calm until about an hour before church. We also try to get Lucy ready to go to nursery and anyone in our ward knows that is when the joke starts.
(Lucy is trying to go inactive at almost 2 years old.)
Then it just goes downhill from there.
The only cure is brownies and Diet Dr. Pepper.
Lexi on the other had is 8 so she's great!...until fast Sunday.
We are teaching her the importance of fasting and while doing this is when I figured out that we made the mistake of not preparing her better for what fasting is all about.
I encourage you to all start doing that at the age of 1 month old.
Introducing Dr. Jekyll and Miss Hyde
Before Church
Super cute, right?
Then...
Miss Hyde visited after church

So tell me what line you read first.
If it's the last line, me too.
THEN I went and read the whole thing,
and I called back the Catholic priest to cancel the exorcism.
Let me translate:
"Please help us Jesus. Please.
I really really love you more than I love Satan."
Like I said, please prepare your children for fasting better than we did.
Lexi is apparently in turmoil and crazed from the lack of food.

Oh wow... Well, she has a way with words, eh?
Oh this makes me happy!
hahaha what a sweet little spirit.
Also, I'm glad she pointed out where food and drinks go in a car. We all know that's the most important part.
We don't start until their 12 and that's because we are horrible fasters and having more than 2 of us fasting is not safe for the children.
My in-laws were the ones to tell me about this. They were laughing their heads off and I couldn't understand them. After they stopped laughing 10 minutes later, I asked again, "who are you talking about?" I was very surprised when they said, "Lexi, Lexi Meyerson". I ran right home to see what all the tears were about. Very funny INDEED!!
Because you're trying to fatten the little kid up, maybe let her fast from something else for a few hours - TV, books, whatever, so she understands sacrifice. "Please Jesus" - that kills me.
You're not having her fast two meals, are you? We always started out just fasting breakfast at age 8, and then gradually getting to two meals in our teens. I really don't think kids need to fast two meals. That's just torture. But maybe I'm blasphemous.
