Nursery!!!

Avery has hit a big milestone! She turned 18 months at the end of March and got to start going to nursery! Hurray!!! She went for the first time on March 27. The week before, she was being I was trying to hold her in the Primary room and she was being naughty and kept running away and Darren was teaching, so they told me to let her try going into Nursery for singing and she did great.
She did great on her first week, too. She stayed the whole time and only had to go for a little walk once (at least that is what they told me...) She loves the singing and snack. I have been told that she will do great, then look around and realize that mom and dad aren't there and cry. Hopefully, she will do better soon... Here are some pics of her on the first day.




She colored a picture about families...or at least there were a couple scribbles if you looked REALLY close.... She was so happy to show us when we picked her up.

After her first week, we had a two week break for General and then Stake Conferences. I don't know if that confused her or what, but she hasn't done too well the last 2 weeks. Maybe it is because there are 18 other crying kids in there... I'm not sure. She cried most of the time she was there this last week. Hopefully she will get better soon!!!

And, just for fun, here are my other kiddies on their first Nursery days....
Rylee in October of 2008 on her first Nursery day. She didn't stay there though. I think it took her a good six months to be ok with nursery and then we moved and she had to adjust all over again and I don't think she really went consistently until she was about 2 1/2. Hopefully, Avery will like it a little faster than that!
Logan in January 2007 - He LOVED nursery from the very first day. He was pretty lucky to have a nursery with only a couple other kids. As a matter of fact, a few times he was the ONLY one in Nursery and those leaders spoiled him rotten! They were like his adopted Grandmas and they adored him. He was so sad to leave them when we moved from Vegas. He always did great going and never had a problem. Look how little he looks....
