Bity Bird Flies the Coop!


Lydia took another step towards being a big girl this week. She finally got to go to nursery. She has been waiting quite sometime. She has been pounding on the door for them to let her in. She knew quite well that that's where the kids go to play, and she wanted in on the action. Although I was ready for her to go to nursery, because she was so insistent on being there, I really am sad that she is old enough to be in nursery. There are no more babies to hold during church meetings! I do look forward to getting to listen to the entire lesson, but my heart still aches as that phase of life is now in the past.

When we dropped her off she couldn't hardly believe she was being aloud in! She was a little overwhelmed for a minute, like she didn't know what to play with first. I didn't want to stay long so I left before I was ready but said goodbye and left to peek in the one way glass. She continued to play so I sulked off to sunday school. We peeked at her a couple of times the remainder of the meeting block to find her playing and enjoying the company of the other little kids. When church was over I quickly went to pick her up. They were doing bubbles, which I rarely get out so she was super excited! When I came in ran to show me all that she had been up to and the toys that she had loved playing with the most. As we left she strutted out the door and down the hall to pick up Kaylie and James, as if she was coolest thing ever! You had to be there to truly appreciate the full humor of her attitude.

It will be preschool before I know it...

I can't believe how big she looks in that picture or that she is old enough to go to nursery.
