So Reagan isn't yet 18 months (will be August 12th) but because i'm due on the 22nd I didn't want to deal with the nursery transition with a newborn if it was going to be bad. So i talked to the Primary Pres and asked if i could give it a trial run to see how Reagan does. She said that would be great. She also asked Reagan if she wanted to just go to primary and skip nursery because as we were speaking Reagan went, found a chair and sat down next to some "friends". Reagan said yes, but i figured we should still start with nursery anyway.
On to nursery we went and when i stepped in the door to talk to the nursery leader and ask her, Reagan went straight for the toys and didn't look back. I told the nursery lady that i could help out in nursery or even just come back in, like 10-20 minutes and she said if she needed me she'd come get me, but to leave Reagan there. Reagan did great! I spied through the window and she was playing with toys and the kids without any problems. I came back to see if i needed to get her after Sunday school and she didn't even look up at me. She was too busy playing and having a good ol time. So, i left her. When it was time to go home she didn't want to leave. How awesome is that!! Hopefully it stays that way.
Here are some pictures from when we got home. The only way i could get her to stay still was with a dounut hole and Shawn the Sheep, thus she's not really looking at the camera.

Look what she colored in nursery! Can you believe it? ... me neither. But it sure looks like she wrote her name. Ha.
Cheese! Show me your teeth!
Fun! (I totally thought you were talking about a nursery, like where a baby sleeps, at first) so exciting that it went smooth. That picture was the first picture Dani "colored" in Nursery too. Fun.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! You are too lucky!!! my little boy HATES HATES nursery....and he's over 2 now...one day, i hope!!
ReplyDeletethat's awesome. i'm going to be in the same boat as you... caleb will be 18 months on february 25 and i'm due march 6-11 (they haven't been able to pin it down yet....hmm). i think i'll talk to our primary pres/nursery leader and see if i can do something similar. here's hoping caleb does as well as reagan did!
