So every 7 long sleeps (days), my mommy
and daddy say to me it's time to go to church and learn about Jesus,
this makes me so happy because I sometimes miss my friend Jesus, and
sometimes I feel like I have completely forgotten who he is. So to be
able to go to church and learn about him helps me to remember.
So
after we sit in a meeting that at times is boring for a long time, but
luckily they give us a snack but it's not much, just a small piece of
bread and a tiny cup of water, Mommy and daddy tell me it's called the
Sacrament and that it is to remind me of Jesus, so I just take this
little snack and remember my Friend. Sometimes I have books to look at
or a toy that is quiet to help me be still during this long long
meeting.
My favorite part is after the closing prayer
mommy or daddy take me to Nursery where I have lots of friends.
sometimes I don't want mommy to go because even though I'm with my
Friends I only see them on Sunday and I sometimes forget that we are
friends so i get scared and need mommy to help me. There are also other
big people there that seem to be friends with mommy and daddy. They kind
of take mommy and daddy's place while they go to their class, which is
boring, there was one Sunday when I just didn't feel safe going with my
friends and mommy took me to her class, I hope that never happens again
because that was BORING!
So we all meet together in the
nursery room until most of our friends are there, then we head over to
the big room that has riding toys, babies in a stroller and balls to
play with. Brother and Sister Liskey they are two of the big people
bring them in for us every Sunday. we play in here for a while , this
play time reminds me of when I would play with my Friend Jesus, I could
play in here forever but they say we have to do other things. When they
start to sing the clean up song we all have to help bring all the riding
toys together. Then we all go over to the nursery room again, and this
time like something magical the table is all set up and ready for us to
have our snack, which Sister Walker, a big person, usually provides, she
likes to challenge us to try new things so besides having raisins,and
graham crackers she sometimes brings us Beans, Cheese, apples and
pumpkin bread there have been other things but I forget what they are. I
try anything she bring because My friends are trying them sometimes it
is good and sometimes they just don't taste very good, when this happens
I just leave it sitting on my napkin and don't eat it. I always try to
be polite since that is what Mommy and Daddy would want me to do. We do
have a prayer before we eat, that Sister Liskey helps us to say.
While
we are eating Sister Walker also tries to teach us a lesson, about our
friend Jesus. Sometimes I think she must be forgetful because she will
teach us the same lesson over and over again, but that's ok because
sometimes my little brain doesn't remember everything the first time.
After we finish eating we take our napkins and put them in the trash and
push the table back where it's suppose to be. then we get out the toys
from the big cabinet. Sometimes when we open the cabinet the toys are a
mess and this makes the big people upset, but I don't care it just toys
and we are going to make a big mess with the any way. we play with the
toys for a while then again we start hearing the clean up song, you know
what that means. Yep every one start putting the toys back in the
cabinet, the big people try and put them away like mommy puts away the
food after shopping, but I just like to throw them all in and close the
door cause when the door is closed you can't tell that they are not in
their right container.
So after this playtime we have
singing time we have chair set up and most of the time are waiting for
our singing person. I'm a little shy and don't always like to sing but
our singing time big person is Sister Hurd and she has really fun things
for us to sing with and a lot of them make noise. Let's see she has
shaker eggs, bells on a ring, we have these wands that have ribbon on
them that look like water, she also has this glove that she sticks ducks
or monkeys on when we sing.there is also frogs on a stick, but my
favorite is the wheels on the bus song.. She is so fun we all get to
help and have fun, I've even learned some new songs, I don't know all
the words but the ones that I do know I will sing them out really loud.
When sister Hurd gets tired of singing, or maybe its cause its almost
time to go home we take up the chairs and then the bubbles come out that
is the best part. While we wait for our Mommy's and Daddy's to pick us
up we get to chase bubbles around the room, I think it's so we don't
think that mommy and daddy have forgotten us.
Two of
the other Big people that help us are Sister Anna Liskey, she is like a
really big kid, she likes to play ball with us and crawl around on the
floor. There is also Sister Barker, I think she is shy because she
doesn't do much but she always has her phone out and is taking pictures,
although the last couple of weeks she is getting used to us. She is
also working on our Bulletin Board, right now it has a tree on it with
pumpkins growing on the tree, I think she might be a little slow because
even I know that pumpkins grow on the ground. But she says that it is a
work in progress so we will wait and see.
I really
like nursery and I hope that my Mommy and Daddy will take me there every
Sunday so that I can have fun with my friend and learn more about
Jesus. I hope you have enjoyed spending time learning about what fun we
have. I might send you another story if anything new happens, But until
then. May Heavenly Father and Jesus bless you.
A Nursery Child
