But we also found that if he fell asleep in church, he'd usually sleep a full hour. So we'd come in a half hour early, get our bench, and I'd take him out and rock him to sleep. That usually worked well, and he'd sleep all through sacrament meeting. <br /><br />I suspect they are doing something like that.<br /><br />As for why HE is doing it, I think some guys feel that it's an act of chivalry to take the kid out when they act up, so the mom can stay and listen. I think I've heard a GA quote on that once, but I don't know for sure. I try to do that when I can, though, and I know my wife appreciates it.<br /><br />I'd also like to get some pointers from the folks in your ward who have kids just zonk out on their own. Ours don't go quietly - it's mass vocal pandemonium that ends in unconsciousness.

Dad probably takes the baby into a darkened room and has a special hold and rock that puts the child out. Maybe he is always the one to do it because he's trying to give his wife a much deserved break on the weekend when she has them all week. Just a guess. 3 kids under 3 has got to be tough!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08338688515732965297noreply@blogger.com
