Nursery

Addy really enjoys going to nursery at church. She always comes home singing songs that I have never taught her and sings them quite well (not vocally, but knows the words).


On Sunday, I walked by her classroom when they were doing singing time, so I stopped and watched through the little window on the door. They were all sitting on their little carpet squares in a semi-circle watching the nursery coordinator lead them in songs. He (that's right, we have a fabulous guy who does the singing time and actually enjoys it!) had lots of cute props for the kids to hold, i.e. stars for Twinkle Twinkle, suns for Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam, pictures of Jesus for I Am A Child of God, etc. He did lots of cute action songs too, like the usual Once There Was A Snowman and Head Shoulders Knees & Toes. Anyway, I was interested to see Addy do these songs because she likes to do them at home.


They started singing the various songs with all the actions and she just sat there. Nothing. Legs out in front, just sitting. She would turn her head to watch the other kids and then turn her head back to watch Bro. Kingsbury, but that was it. Again, not surprised by this. I actually thought I would be surprised to see her actually doing the motions because she we all know how well she does with large groups. Every other kid was participating, but Addy was just sitting and watching. At least she was sitting. I guess she just turns the record button on and then hits play when she gets home.


A little while later Bro. Kingsbury came into primary to get me. He said that he was taking pictures of all the nursery kids and got great pictures of all of them, except Addy. Hmmm, that's weird, she LOVES having her picture taken. I told him I would email him a picture when I got home. So here is her official nursery picture (yes, she is being restrained).
