The Hunt's: First Day in the Nursery

I have to admit something that I'm not proud of at all. Our family hadn't been to church in a few months until this past Sunday. When we moved downtown, we obviously moved pretty far away from our home church and so we had to make a decision. That decision was to stay at that church. We liked it so much and knew people that attended there. Only problem is that we have to leave about 40 minutes early to get there on time and with Jane, its hard. Another reason I kept putting it off is because she was getting too old to sit in church with us, especially with her loud yells, squeals, and talking. The church service is at 10am which is Jane's nap, so I thought the nursery would be a total melt down epidemic, and that always made me nervous. Of course none of these are good enough excuses for not attending church.

Finally after a few months of listening to the sermons on our phones at home, we knew we needed to go, just do it. So what if Jane missed her morning nap which is only ever 30 or 45 minutes. Its one day out of the week and we can deal with a cranky baby.

So Sunday morning we got ready and out of the house late of course. I really wanted to get there early so I could slowly leave her in the nursery. We dressed her up super cute.

Mr. Hunt dropped me off in the front of the church to run her in since we were already late. I walked her in, handed her to the lady and said "this is her first time staying in here" and stood there for a minute. Once I saw Mr. Hunt, I walked out and she didn't even notice me leave.

The service was great, but I will admit, I thought a few times about walking out just to check on her. Then I kept reminding myself that they would probably come get me if she was having a complete meltdown, so I stayed in place. Mr. Hunt also reminded me that they are probably holding her the entire time since I never mentioned that she could sit or crawl. Oops!

haha....look at this face!

Once the service was over, I walked in and sure enough they were still holding her. A different lady was holding her but I'm pretty sure they held her the entire time. There weren't that many kids in there. They said that she was like a doll and drooled alot. They also said she didn't cry at all once I said that it was her nap time.
My old neighbor Shanyn's son was in there with Jane and as we were leaving the nursery lady asked Shanyn about something that her son Malachi was trying to say....something like tate, or change. We couldn't figure it out until he pointed at Jane and said it again. He was saying JANE! He remembered baby Jane and was saying her name! How cute!

So all in all it was a good experience. The rest of the day wasn't even that bad after having no nap. Shows how much God really takes care of us to go prasie Him. With that said, I'm not convinced every time will be that perfect, but it was a good first experience.

This tongue thing has been happening again. So silly!

Of course, here we are three day later and Jane woke up not being able to breath out of there nose and dried boogies everywhere. Poor thing.

She seems in good spirits and no fever yet, so I think she's fine. But, when they say they will get sick when they go to the nursery or school for the first time, they weren't kidding! Wow!
