Fun for Free!

For the past couple of months I have been substituting in one of the three nurseries in my ward. I have a couple of more months left and I am really having the time of my life. I wanted to post some pictures of some of the little cuties I get to hang out with but after the Relief Society meeting we had last night about safe use of the internet I vow never to post pictures of anyone's children without their consent. So....you are just gonna have to take my word for it, these kids are adorable. They have gotten used to having me around now so they are talking more and watching them sing during singing time is a hoot! They know the actions for all of the songs but getting them to match up with the verse that is being sung at the time can get a little tricky and can provide a lot of entertainment. This past Sunday we had finished up singing time but had not sung one of the 'regulars' so while we were putting up chairs and getting toys out, one of the little boys sat on the adult chair and led everyone through Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star...with all of the actions. This is the same little guy who will come over and rub the top of my head if he thinks that I need some love. What a sweet experience to be a part of these kids' first step in Primary. I used to think that Young Women's was the best (secretly still do) and then I really got a kick out of being Cubmaster. I never thought that I could really love Nursery but I had a short stint a few years ago that came at a point in my life that made my time there very healing. Now I'm hooked. BTW, for those of you who have kids in my Nursery class, I will be giving you the pictures of your little ones rather than putting them here.
