Nursery

Today was the day we've been waiting for for what's seemed like weeks!  It was our darling daughter's first week in Nursery!  She is usually exceptionally well behaved, but asking her to sit near me and play quietly for 3 straight hours is asking quite a lot.

We didn't prep her for this new adventure at all.  We didn't think about it until about a week or so ago, but last week we visited a cousin's ward so I didn't have the opportunity to do a "test run" with her in Nursery.  So I was a bit worried that she'd cling to me.

I shouldn't have worried because as soon as I walked in the door carrying her, she saw the toys, lunged for them and never looked back!  Even so, I hung around for a few minutes just to make sure she was alright and that the Nursery teachers knew who she was.  Then I left and enjoyed the rest of church uninterrupted! :)

The only mishap was getting her.  I was chatting with a couple ladies after Relief Society.  Derek came by the RS room and I tried to tell him from across the room what room she would be in.  I knew it had to be one of two.  He left and I figured he'd get her.  Well, he came back with no Cadence and a worried look on his face.  He hadn't clearly heard what I had said (too many people in the room).  I told him again and he was able to find her.
