VBS

Well for those that know Zack, you know he is very timid in new situations, Sammy however is a social butterfly...

On Monday, I went to the opening assembly with the boys. Sammy went right to his class once I got a worker to hold his hand and take him. Then, I went with Zack to his first activity- story time. Then I left him to help get the crafts ready. He comes to crafts at the end of the day, so it works out great. He made it through most of the activities until the recreation crew decided to do indoor activities-- Zack was not too impressed and cried when his teacher left. So she brought him to me. I took him back to recreation to evaluate the situation and knew it would be pointless to try to get him to stay. So he came back to class with me. I talked to some folks about letting the kids go out to the playground for recreation ( our last class the 4's and 5's were really wound up!)

However, this morning upon getting ready to go. Zack announced "I do not like VBS- not one little bit!" "I'm gonna hide from you momma and you will not be able to find me."

Well, I think the fact that I had an appointment and he know I was going to leave prompted some of his reluctance. I did make it back to find both of my boys in the class room (during Zack's craft time). Apparently, Sammy started fussing about wanting me and the girl brought him directly to my class and left him with the other ladies!
Zack however, had made it through the day (all activities including Recreation-playing on the playground!) Just before Zack's class came in Gloria was walking Sammy back to his class when he saw Zack in the hall.. He just ran to Zack and hugged him. So he ended up sitting in the chair next to Zack and they worked on crafts together...

Gloria told me that after most of the kids had finished the craft she was asking them some of the First Catechism questions,
Q. Who made you? A. God (most knew)
But when she asked
Q. What else did God make?
Sammy was the only one who answered "All Things!" Way to go, Sammy.
Needless to say he shone in the 4's and 5's class.

I am happy to report that Zack had a much better day and our last group for crafts was much easier to handle. Mostly having to do with the playground being used!

I did get to have a hair appt today! I felt a little guilty, but I didn't intentionally plan it for VBS week. This was the last hair appt until baby # 3 comes and then some!
