Eva is enjoying new 3-year-old’s room at church. They always make a little craft, and she’s so proud to show it to Daddy and Mommy after class, telling us, “I made that!” Amanda has been more of a challenge. Up until now, we’ve just taken her directly to the “crying baby’s room” with us, where we can watch the service on a big screen TV without disturbing anyone.
But last weekend, when Dave had to work, I decided to give the nursery another try. Now that Amanda is walking, she might be able to entertain herself better. To my utter shock and amazement, she actually stayed in the entire service! I even checked twice to make sure they weren’t just letting her “cry it out”, but she was quietly letting one of the workers hold her. Miracles never cease! I hope Amanda does as well in the nursery during the MOPS meetings, too. It would be nice to have a mid-week break!
Evenings are a different story, though. We tried to leave her in the nursery while we got together with our small group, but got paged when she wouldn’t stop screaming. That’s OK. Several other parents in our group have their babies end up back with them during the meeting, too, and nobody minds.
