Today I finally bit the bullet and left Vivian in the church nursery. We haven't attended church since the end of October and knew it was time to get back in the swing of things.
When we got there, one little boy was being dropped off at the same time. I'm guessing he was 1. Vivian just looked around taking everything in as usual. The little boy started playing with a few toys so I sat Vivian on the floor to let her play. The young girl volunteering was on the floor as well. Vivian didn't fuss...just watched. I think we are good to go!
B and I headed to the sanctuary. They did give us a pager just in case they needed us. Comforting to have and no, they did not have to page us.
I managed to focus on the sermon and my mind wasn't constantly on Vivian. Good sign. After service was over we made our way back to the nursery.
Vivian was sitting in the young girls lap and there were a few more kids. When Vivian saw us she started to cry a little. We were told she did well and the only thing that happened was that one of the kids took her little card that she was playing with and Vivian got really mad. Vivian was holding this little card when we walked into the nursery. Crossing fingers we aren't going to have a "No, that's mine" little girl. Simply another reason why she needs to be around other children.
I'm glad we both survived because I am ready to get back into going to church. Happy Sunday!!!
