Fun Week

This past week, we had VBS. I was the main teacher for the 1st & 2nd grade group. I had a fantastic time with the kids. I loved being able to teach the kids Bible stories and verses to memorize. We played lots of games and sang some great songs. Last night was a program for the parents and one of the boys in my class' personality really shone through. They sang several of the songs they had learned during the week, complete with actions. Well, I don't know where this kid got his moves but he was hilarious. He had everyone laughing in the sanctuary, including his parents. I saw his mom wipe away tears from her eyes, from laughing so hard. He seemed like such a quiet boy during the lessons, but I guess that was only a facade. I will definitely help again next year.

Also this week, I have been working with Samuel on using a spoon. We used apple sauce, which is very hard since it slides off of the spoon so easy. I would guide him on how to fill the spoon and help him get it to his mouth (not always an easy task). Today he did it all by himself! He did everything, from filling the spoon to getting it to his mouth. I'm so proud of him!!

This morning when I got him dressed I noticed how long he is getting. He's now becoming more of a little boy. We have his 18 mos. doctor's appointment next week and I am looking forward to seeing how much he has grown. Same with Darius, I'm curious as to how much he weighs, since his 4 month appointment is at the same time. They are growing so fast.
