Church/Temple-how do you handle?

We try to go to church every Sunday-easier said than done.

However, with DD at 14 months and now walking around quite well-it is very challenging.

How do you handle? We no longer sit in the main church, we sit in the "family room" (has a big window in the church and speaker system). But she seems a little active even for that so we usual split the time walking around the entryway.

How do you handle?

We haven't been going. We really need to try again. I'm not sure how we'll get her to stay in the pew for that long. I guess I'll try bringing some books that she hasn't seen in awhile.

we just do it- and hope DD gets used to it.
some days we can sit the whole mass- other days, we have to leave....
it is what it is.

We brought DS to temple during the holidays (he is 2). I feel, go for as long as DD will sit still, walk around a bit then come back. You will see, especially if it is a childrens service, she will become more interested the more you go. It will become a part of her weekly routine.
We also brought a few cars for DS to play with on the floor at out feet when he was getting a little restless. Luckily for us, that worked and he ws great during all the services
