p.s. I also find little ones can sense the awesomeness of the moment and are usually on their best behavior. Or sleeping.

Yes!
About 6 months ago, my son (daddy's boy - 7 yrs old) asked to come with me and I was thrilled. He prayed for 20 seconds on a kneeler, then played quietly with a little toy he brought along. About 30 minutes in I could tell he was getting bored, he would look up at me and sigh noticeably as if to say "how much longer." But he stuck it out and did so on his best behaviour. He might have been bored and disengaged, but he was a good trooper.
The most interesting thing is when we climbed into our truck to leave, I broke the silence and simply asked him, "well, how did you like that?" I was ready for him to start complaining......but his response, I kid you not...."Dad, that was a blast...I want to come every week!"
I was laughing on the inside, only God could pull off such a feat.
