Nursery First

As Lincoln gets older, he gets louder and less cooperative! Is that surprising to anyone about a toddler? We've always kept him out with us in big church, only taking him out when he got noisy or upset. Since he was getting more rambunctious, we decided to try out the nursery this week. We all marched in and told the lady we were ready to play! I put a sticker on Lincoln's back (seriously!) with his name, our names, allergy information and where we'd be. (I was a little concerned about this sticker business at first, but it makes perfect sense.) Of course he began to cry as we ran off, but I yelled back that he'd be fine because he's used to school! I'm sure the lady was thrilled at that point. We were able to spy on him a few time through a series of strategically placed windows. Guess what - he was eating Goldfish in a circle with his new friends and enjoying a book. Perfect! When we went to retrieve Lincoln, we had to turn in our "claim ticket" that matched his sticker. Too funny! I'm glad to know we can send him to have fun in the nursery. It makes it much easier to pay attention!

It didn't take long for him to make a mess when we got home. This is just the beginning of Tornado Lincoln! He's getting so good at posing for pictures, isn't he?
