Eleanor started Primary in church this year. She didn't seem to have any trouble with the transition. They moved her nursery leader up to be her teacher, so all the kids were already comfortable with their teacher.
This was taken the evening of her first day in Primary. We put her jammies on, and she still wanted to wear her "princess crown" that she got in Primary. It says, "I am a child of God." I can't believe my baby is already in Primary!
She has continued to do well these past two weeks with the change. Yesterday, I went to get her at the end of church. She was there, but her teacher told me that she had wandered off briefly. I guess they had stayed in the Primary room the whole time instead of going to their class part way through, as they usually do. (I don't really know what was going on.) The kids were all working on a project, and one of the leaders found Eleanor out roaming the hall. I don't know if she decided it was time to go to their classroom or if she was trying to look for her parents or what. She does seem to feel quite at home in church buildings (and at Daddy's work). I guess she figures she's safe to roam in these places. Funny kid. We'll have to watch that.

Sam has always felt more comfortable in church too. Even when she was smaller and more shy to wander off in a store or something, she would always just take off at church, and really not have much of a problem with walking up to strangers there too.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe she's that old already. I'm glad she's enjoying primary. It can be a tramatic experience for some kids.
