Asa brought a craft home from Bible study nursery on Wednesday. Not just a few scribbles on a coloring sheet (although I do love to see those, too)... a REAL CRAFT! He and one other child were the only ones registered for the nursery under the age of two (but they're both 1.5 or older). The nursery is required to have at least 2 workers in a classroom, and 2 workers for 2 kids isn't the MOST cost effective way to run things. ;) So the nursery elected to try moving Asa and the other child to the 2s & 3s class for Wednesday morning Bible study instead. There are still fewer than 10 children in the class, so it's not like he'll be run down by big kids. :) And they added an "under 2" nursery worker to the classroom to keep a watchful eye on the 2 extra little ones. I'm so thankful they were determined to make a way to still offer us childcare instead of just closing the under 2 class on Wednesday morning--I wouldn't be able to go to Bible study if they did that! And now Asa does "big kid" activities on Wednesday morning.... like making a craft!
They must have been talking about Noah's ark, because he made a giraffe and it has a verse about Noah on the back of it. I'm sure he had plenty of help ;), but it is PRECIOUS and it will be a prominent piece of decor on our new fridge when we move!
The giraffe can stand on its own on the clothespins, but my little helper was preventing that from happening when I snapped the pictures. ;)
Asa had only been in a church nursery once before we moved--my last Sunday in Florida I put him in the nursery just during the sermon so his very first time could be when we had trusted friends he knows (yea, Nate & Melissa!) in the classroom. The nursery at the church here in Ohio has been incredibly warm and welcoming to all three of us. It's a huge blessing and answer to prayer!
