ethan made the big jump today from the church nursery to his sunbeam class. he is so young still, he only turned three in november and is still in diapers. i think kids should graduate into primary just like the twelve year olds graduate out, but whatever. if any of the general authorities call me wanting my opinion, there it is. because he is such a nervous nellie about being left anywhere, i knew this would be a hard adjustment for him, and i was right. i sat with him in opening exercises until it was time to start then left. it didn't last long. he was already crying and running down the isle to catch me and i'd only just gotten to the door. the boy has no shame in being a mama's boy that's for sure.so, with the threat of loosing a finger to ethan's death grip, i attended sunbeams today too, which was fine, we had a lot of fun actually, and i think he even liked it well enough to do a little better next week. during class i had the "jesus wants me for a sunbeam" song in my head, only i kept changing the words a little so it went something like, "jesus wants me - and my mom - to be sunbeams".

We had the same things in our Primary today! We have a few sunbeams in diapers too so don't worry about it. He will do just fine after a few weeks and then he will go all by himself. Our sunbeams looked so little today.
I can't believe that baby is a sunbeam!? sorry but what the heck? he is the cutest sunbeam ever though. I bet he loves it soon enough. I wish I could be his song leader, that would be so fun :)
I have to say- what a treat to read all of these posts tonight! you are a great writer.
I love the sumbeams. Kristy put me there as a teacher and they are the best. Moms are always invited.
Thanks a lot Wende!! Now I'm going to have that song stuck in my head for the rest of the night! I guess it's a good thing that I love that song! I sing it to my kids a lot. I hope you had a great Christmas. We are still waiting for snow. We are wondering if it will ever come! Miss you!
I think you and Ethan are really cute sunbeams...how are the chairs working out for ya though? I've substituted in there and man I had to sit on those tiny things they hurt!
Let me know if you get that one figured out! I was pretty much running down the hall at church after dropping my screaming little girl off at nursery!
Maybe they'll just have to call you to be the Sumbeams teacher! Chelsea was the same way back when she started Nursery, so I was glad when I was called to be the leader since I was always in there with her anyway :)
Late comment, but my November mama's boy is in Sunbeams and diapers, too. Having peeked through classroom windows, I know he manages fine when I'm not there, but if I'm nearby lending support he can't stay away.
