Our 18month old baby attended nursery for the first time this Sunday. I was asked to substitute so I oversaw all Desi's new protocol training: sitting down in a chair, folding arms, being still through prayer and lesson time (he identified a picture of the SLC Temple by shouting, "TEMPLE!") and then, perhaps the most difficult of all, sharing and personal space. :) He enjoyed singing time and picked, by chance, one of his favorite songs to sing, "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes". He clapped at the end of every song and showed a lot of enthusiasm. He loved drawing on the chalk board and playing with the balls and fire engine truck. Surprisingly was inclined to give no one a hug. During snack time he did pretty well, only reached onto others plates occasionally, kept the water in his cup and ate all of his snacks. He needs a lot more experience and I think next Sunday when I bring him and leave him he may get a little sad... but he bounces back remarkably well. One little boy this week was sosososo furious and got absolutely red in the face when his mother tried to leave him. Can't see Des getting that worked up, but his wounded little crys are nevertheless a bit hard to hear.
