Brooklyn's Rite of Passage

Brooklyn is officially 18 months and every parent that has an 18-month old looks forward to something special that they can take their 18-month old to at church...NURSERY!!! We have been counting down the days and with how well it went today...Brooklyn was looking forward to it as well. I walked her to nursery and she walked right in, sat down, and never looked back at me. I said, "bye bye Brooklyn...love you" and she didn't even respond. Not even a wave...nothing. Like every 1st time parent taking their 1st child to nursery, I looked in to see how she was doing. She held babies, played with kids, played with playdough and got marshmellows for her snack. What a lucky girl! I saw her make eye contact with me once and then she would look down like, "If I acknowledge Mom then she may take me away from this wonderful place." When I picked her up her leader said that she was a dream child and that she shared, folded her arms for the blessing on the food (we work on that everytime we say a pray...it was nice to see she pays attention to that. :) and never fussed. She said that Brooklyn was more than welcome to come back next week. Phew, huge relief. So, nursery went well for her 1st time. She even brought us a picture back. What a big girl. She is soooo fun and I have to admit, I missed her while she was in nursery. For those of you wondering why Tom wasn't there...he wasn't feeling well. "I'm ready for nursery guys!!!"

Brooklyn playing in nursery. You may ask yourselves..."where are the other kids?" Well, they were on the hips of the leaders crying. What a good girl Brooklyn.
