Anna vs. Nursery

We had a nursery breakthrough.

Anna and Matthew both go to the nursery at our church and have never made it through the whole time without either Scott or I being there. At least not in Okinawa.
After much deliberation, I decided to just take Matthew to class with me. I had a feeling Anna would be ok if Matthew wasn't in there freaking out all the time.
This week was Anna's second time without Matthew and she made it all the way through with minimal sadness. She was happy and participating when we peeked in on her. Hooray!
Sunday afternoon after church Anna was happily singing songs from nursery and had this to say...

"I like [the nursery leader].
She reads me a book and she *wipes my nose."

*For the record, she wasn't sick...the nose wipe was required after a little crying at the beginning.

And as for Matthew, he sat quietly by me in class, didn't ask for toys or snacks and was very happy to not be in the nursery. Go figure. I'm hoping he thinks class is boring after a while and wants to go back, but we'll see.

Oh, and in case you were wondering what it looks like when you put pigtails on a moving object, it looks like this.

I know they're crooked, but I thought I did a pretty good job under the circumstances.
