First day in nursery

Anna just turned 18 months old this week, so today was her first day in the nursery at our church. Matthew is not yet 3, so he's still in the nursery too and now they get to go together. Matthew often has a hard time in nursery, so I thought maybe he would like it a little more if Anna was there. He made it longer than usual before he got sad today. When I checked on him part way through he was crying and Anna was sitting calmly next to him. I came in to comfort him for a while and then left again for a few minutes. When I came back the second time, Matthew was crying and Anna was sitting by him, calm and patting him on the back for comfort.

Here's Matthew's summation of how Anna's first day went:
Anna was a little bit sad, but I was all the way sad!

Maybe Anna will be ok in nursery. Now we just need to help Matthew feel more comfortable.

What a sweetheart to be right there for her brother. I hope he likes it better soon. And that Anna will enjoy it to. Your Valentine look like so much fun. I wish we lived closer together. Love ya guys.
