Put him down for a nap, go get ready for church, check on him. His eyes open. He rolls over and goes back to sleep. Hallelujah!
Putt around for a little bit, hear a squawk from the bedroom, check on him, it's about time to go. Brennan looks, his eyes are open! He goes to pick him up and he rolls over and goes to sleep again. Hmmm...
It's time to leave to walk to church. It's about a 45 minute walk. We make sure the diaper bag is packed, we make sure we're totally ready to go, we think we hear a squawk, Brennan goes in, he's still asleep.
Isn't he a little young to be protesting church? I swear he's playing the, "look at me. I'm too sick/tired/lazy to go to church" card.
Dilemma: wake up the sleeping baby to get to church on time or let the kid take his first good nap in about 48 hours. Hmmm.... Nap wins. We're probably going to go to hell for our decision but whatever. Sometimes you just can't win. Sometimes hell will just come sooner if you wake the sleeping baby.

Naps are more important. Better to be late than deal with a cranky pants - if you're given any say in the matter.
Just a fair warning, church and naps will never get along. It's so frustrating!!

Yup. It doesn't say anything about being on time for church.
why would you want to go to heaven if you had to be cranky and sleep deprived? :) nap wins over church in our house too, it really happens so rarely that we just accept it and enjoy an afternoon together while someone naps!
