Nursery



Our church nursery was getting desperate for help, so Rachel and I volunteered to join the roster for the first Sunday of each month. This may be the closest I get to grandkids for some time :-(



The three kids we took care of today were happy kids, if all with runny noses and one with a load in his diaper. The two boys were the cuddly type, while the little girl seemed pretty independent.

These are the things I learned today:
  • The plethera of Fisher-Price toys come in second to shoes, blankets, and other babies when it comes to keeping one-year-olds profitably occupied.
  • That being said, toys work better after being licked, sucked, and chewed.
  • Goldfish solve many of life's problems for babies and their caregivers.
  • Don't wear dangle earrings when working in the nursery.
  • And, "Mom, this is called seriation."


My baby may pass that teacher test yet.

Cute pictures!

I looked up "seriation," 'cause, at first glance, I thought it had something to do with Serotonin....
