Nursery Independence!

In our church we have 3 hours, each hour a different thing. After the first hour, which is Sacrament meeting, kids age 18 months to about 3 years old go to a class called Nursery. They basically get to play with toys, have a short singing time, lesson time, and a snack. Anyway, Grant loves nursery and basically always has. Today we had a funny experience.

One of the members of our church came to talk to Perry and me. Grant was sitting in the pew eating a fruit twist snack. Perry left to help the member find someone. When I went to the pew Grant was gone so I assumed he was with Perry. I grabbed our stuff and went to find Perry. I quickly realized Perry didn't have Grant; that Grant was with neither of us. I thought to myself that Grant had been talking about Nursery during Sacrament meeting as always and was probably headed to his class. Mind you Grant is still only 1, will be two next month, but he knows where his class is. I wasn't panicked at all because he is a very popular toddler in our ward and we trust everyone there, and right I was as I walked out of the Chapel. One of his babysitters somehow knew I was looking for him and said he was headed "thataway" (towards nursery). I briefly saw a child open a door for another but didn't see the child. I went into his class and there he was. I said "Hey, Grant!"  He shook his head saying, "Bye bye mommy, good night, see you later!" He was ready for me to be out of there.

So there you have it. It made me laugh a lot thinking about it during church. We have a funny little boy.
