[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 415745, member: 3493"] Many shuls have prayer books that are transliterated (the Hebrew words are written out in English letters). That's how H follows along. If I knew how to post pictures, I'd put up the sacreligious holiday picture we sent out when difficult child was 3 months old. H and his friend (a professional photographer) set up a little stable type thing with wood. We covered difficult child's car seat and propped him up in it, put oldest boy (then 4) in one of H's shirts and daughter (then 3) in a sari an Indian friend had given her. We put hay on the floor and spread out their stuffed aninals around them. We arranged the 2 older ones around the car seat. Every time I see the picture (and difficult child will graduate HS next year), I have to laugh. For our conservative friends, we took another picture with the boys in baby tuxedos and daughter in her bridesmaid dress from sister in law's wedding. The service story is a scream now but at that time, I remember thinking that everyone in that church just knew I was Jewish and was preparing to stone me. After the whole thing was over, the priest approached us and said he'd never seen us before and were we going to join the parish. I just stared and H, fortunately, knew to tell him that we lived in X parish... [/QUOTE]
