Bronwyn's First Official Day of Nursery

Oh our little girly. She wants so much to be a big girl like Aftyn. She can take off her own pants and diaper. She takes off her own shoes and socks. Takes off her own coat. Wields a spoon over her cereal in the morning like a 2 year old. She just craves independence and big-kiddedness.   :)

Today Reed dropped her off at Nursery, stayed for 2 minutes and then left to go to Sunday school. Her teachers said she fussed for a little bit and then toddled off and played with all the other kids. When I went to pick her up, she was sitting at the big table with all the other kids eating her animal crackers, kicking her little feet happily under her chair. When she saw me, she didn't even cry, she just got a big smile on her face and quickly got down off her chair to come to me. You could tell she felt like such a big girl.
(Mind you, last week Reed stayed with her for the first hour to get her used to nursery and then had to leave for the 2nd hour. She cried when he left and then cried when I stuck my head in to grab something and cried when I came to pick her up later. So don't think she never cried. I am just impressed with how quickly she's decided to like nursery!)

I asked her a few times today if she had so much fun playing with toys at the church with her friends and each time she gave me a little smile as if she was busy thinking and remembering it all again. Oh she makes me laugh! She is the youngest one in our nursery with no other kids her age coming in for a few months but she doesn't seem to mind that. She has already sought out the only other little girl in there and likes to play and interact with her in AND out of nursery. She is such a social little thing.

And just because this post needs a picture, here you go:

Where has my baby gone?
