Currently our church meets in the afternoon, during Baby Bop's nap time. Normally we take him to church and then put him down for a late nap afterwards.
Recently Janine took him to church, I was going a little later. I was surprised to see Janine driving up the driveway. Baby Bop had fallen asleep. We moved him to his bed, and he started to wake up. I sat in the rocking chair next to him, and he settled down a bit. I waited. He just laid there, but wasn't falling back asleep. After a few minutes I went and got my scriptures. I came back to his room and read a few chapters. Baby Bop was still half awake. I decided to read a chapter out loud. He was asleep before I finished the chapter.
I have done this once since and it also worked like magic.
Hopefully we aren't training him to fall asleep when he hears the word of God.

LOL! I read scriptures to my children over breakfast, so they're probably going to have a Pavlovian salivating response to the word of God. ;)
Was it one of the genealogy chapters, LOL?
You are teaching him to find comfort in the Word of God. That is what is letting him sleep;).
