Church Doodles by Nathan

Usually Nathan sits with Mark in the congregation during worship on Sundays. But (since he is now too old for the nursery rooms) on weekends when Mark is working, he comes and sits with me in the choir (!)... it made me super nervous at first but has now become a (usually) sweet and easy church pattern for us. He stays pretty quiet, he can watch from behind the organ console, which he loves, and he stands up and holds my hand when we sing our anthem.

And he doodles.

They have worship kits at our church for kids, with books and a bulletin and some markers and stickers and pipe cleaners and a small stuffed toy and coloring pages. But all Nathan has eyes for is the clipboard with blank paper and a few markers.

So that he can draw Mark masterpieces like this T-Rex singing from a hymnal. Because what, that doesn't happen at your church?

(Not a hymnal, he corrected me. Just a regular blue book. Which is oddly like the hymnal-of-his-own he requested for the first time in this same service. Including music notes. Hmmm.)

Oh and he also doodled something for Another Nathan which included the word Allalyoua so if we can all just spell it that way from now on, that'd be great kthx.
