nursery

turns out nursery is a little harder than cason and i had thought! Lillian did great, she had an awesome time watching the other kids, playing with toys, having snacks, and being able to crawl--she didn't have a single issue...wish we could say the same about the other kids!

One little boy was sleeping when his dad left him, and was hysterical when he woke up--after he cried for about 10 minutes, i found his mom {1st crisis solved!}

But things were still rough! Most of the kids were fine. One little boy warmed right up to Cason and had a great time, a couple kids mostly kept to themselves, one little girl had to have her grandma stay the entire time to be happy {kind of a pain, but at least for today we weren't going to complain about an extra set of hands}, but then there's 2 little boys that we're going to struggle with!

The first is only 18 months and brand new to nursery. He's a climber, and a hitter! He'd also pinch people...i don't think he was trying to hurt anyone, but he's new to this and doesn't really know how to react with other kids. he spent most of the afternoon on my lap!

The other problem child...is a hoarder. Seriously, he didn't play with a single toy the whole time. He'd pick two or three things, go to a corner and hold onto them for dear life. Whenever the 18 month old, or lilli would come near him, he'd FREAK! he'd start yelling, "he's (she's) gonna get me!" over and over. Honestly kid, let's share ok? He then started to pout during the last 20 minutes, which led to some tears, which led to hysterics, which led to cuddle time with me, until finally his sister came to get him-- thank goodness!

Things went ok though, and i could tell that (most) of the kids were much more comfortable with us by the end of the two hours, so we're thinking things will get better and better with time!
