Nursery

Kael went to nursery for the first time today. Whoa. Big. Scary. Awesome. Don't know what to do with myself. I decided last night that I should at least meet his teachers and see how many kids were in his class today. Scope it out, see how he might do. Well, turns out that both Kael and I did pretty good. He has 2 amazing, awesome sisters who teach his class. There are normally about 7 kids in the class and can be up to about 10 max. Today there were only 5 kids. I went in and the teachers were so nice and so reasurring that he would do great. I really needed the reasurrance for me. As soon as Kael saw toys he took off immediately and didn't need me at all. Weird. All the kids were right about 18 mo just like Kael. I stayed with them for about 10 minutes. Kael just did his own thing and played and had fun. It didn't even phase him when I left, he just kept right on playing. I thought I'll just leave him for the first hour and see how he does. Of course I peeked in the door once to see him playing away happily. After the first hour I went in and everything was still good. I changed his diaper and he was soo excited and wiggly. When he went back to class they were getting snacks ready and I just waved and said bye and off Kael went. I stayed peeking through the window and Kael looks up at me and just waves and smiles and off he goes again. I checked on him one more time after that and he had a cracker in hand and was busy.

Silly Mom... He was having so much fun. The teachers said he had this toy egg he wouldn't let go of, and became pocessive of, and that it was quite funny. No need to worry about this little boy. Whew. I had no idea what to do with myself through 2 whole hours of church. I guess I should start bringing my scriptures again now that I have my hands free. It was a bizarre day for me. Probably a bigger day for me than Kael, and I'm glad we both had a great time.

Hopefully, next week will be just as great. I'll probably be just as worried though. I'm certain I'll get used to it, hopefully by the time this new baby gets here. What a day.
