Slow and steady improvement on the DH situation. I had a chat to the pastor about it all, and we have put some plans in place. The call has been put out in church to get others to help... not exactly overwhelmed with people offering assistance, but rumour has it that there's two people recently moved across from another church who did sound there - I'm just hoping and praying that they can be convinced to do it here as well. For the last few weeks the evening service hasn't been moving to the other room, so I've been able to go in the evenings and let Sam run around a bit and that's been great. The creche roster still isn't up and running for the year yet (when school goes back, so either this weekend or next), but some lovely friends booted me out on Sunday morning and took care of Sam. DH himself is chasing up these guys he's heard of that know how to run a sound desk and appears to have finally fixed the item of equipment that is needed to get clear sound into the creche during the service. So it's all coming together.

And my poor little man is in so much pain from teething that even sucking on his dummy hurts him. Not easy to get him to calm down ready for sleep when he's always used the dummy for it before... but could be a good opportunity to try to get him to sleep without it. Amazing how things work out some times.
