Well, I just got off the phone with Wilma (the social worker). She was calling to confirm Sabrina's visit with mom this afternoon (and just in time, since I would have needed to go in 15 minutes to pick her up from school if the visit were cancelled), and I asked about the visit with dad for the weekend. (Important background information: I emailed Wilma about the conversation with Sabrina.) Her response was not what I expected.
"I got some..."other" information...as well. I have to talk to the agency attorney."
I suppose I should start thinking about how to prep the little one for Shabbat. There's a scholar-in-residence at one of my minyanim this weekend, a teacher of mine from my year in Israel, so I really really really want to go. Could be interesting.

ReplyDeleteIf your shul doesn't have child care, you may want to call other moms and ask them for advice. There are some Shabbat-friendly activities to keep kids occupied, I just can't think of any besides picture books at the moment. Also, you may want to plan your attendance in the sanctuary strategically. As in, maybe leave the sanctuary for a potty break right before the Amidah begins, so you're not in the sanctuary with a kid wanting to leave at a time when entering and leaving is frowned upon? I know I did that as a kid, but mainly to miss as much service as possible =)
ReplyDeleteI'm not a mom, though, and I also don't know how kid-friendly your services are, so take all this with a grain of salt.
