I have been telling Chris that I would finally take Reid to the church nursery when he was 9 months old. Well, he's 9 months old. The last few times we have gone to church, Reid and I have ended up in the lobby playing and walking around. I decided I would take it slow. I kept him with us while we were singing and then walked him to the nursery. I asked the sweet ladies if I could stay in there for a little while and just see how he did. It was the perfect day to try the nursery because there were only 3 babies and 3 workers. He sat in my lap for a few minutes and looked around and then decided he wanted to play. I let him scoot around by himself and just watched him. He was doing great, so I slipped out. I only stayed gone for about 30 minutes and then came back to get him a little early. I honestly thought I would cry when I left, but I didn't. :) It did feel a little bit like taking him to kindergarten or something. I KNOW I will be a basket case when that day comes.
I thought he looked PRECIOUS in his bubble before church. My mom made this for my brother 21 years ago! While Chris is always sweet and impressed with my mom's talents, he wasn't exactly excited about Reid wearing this. :) I loved it.
He got one of the ladies to let him "walk".
Mommy was so proud of her boy! :)
He must have had a lot of fun because he was worn out! :)
Here is a picture of Chloie for good measure. :) We love our Chloie!
Sweet little boy- so glad it was a success for you both :)
ReplyDeleteUh oh, now the pressure is really on me to give in and take Davis to our church nursery! I keep telling myself I'll wait until cold/flu season is over, though I'm not sure when it officially ends?? Thanks for giving me some motivation though! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of you Mama! Good job! I am sure Reid had a great time playing with his new friends and exploring all the new toys!!
