Three Cheers for Nursery!

So, my little baby's all grown-up! Here's Grace (with Ethan) on her first eligible day of nursery (hip, hip, hooray).




As you can see, Grace is literally jumping for joy she's so excited. Ethan is very excited to have her join him as well. After sacrament meeting it was so cute because Ethan says to Grace: "Grace, you're big now. You get to come to nursery with 'Niki' [this is how he says his name -- I don't know how he got it either]." I guess thats one perk of having kids 16 months apart. They're able to keep each other company in nursery for the rest of this year.




Fortunately, Grace LOVED nursery, and the only time they had to bring her to me was for a diaper change. The funny thing is, this is the first time practically since we've been married that Scott and I can sit with each other through all of Sunday School and to be honest I don't really know what to do with myself. Call it adult-onset ADD or maybe its just being around kids all day that causes my attention span to dwindle to the size of theirs, but today's Sunday School lesson was the longest 40 minutes of my life!

Okay, before I close, I just had to post one more picture. Ethan (and Grace) are notorious for their "rocking." They rock when they're sitting on the couch watching Little Einstein's, they rock when they're eating, and they rock when they're in bed. Ethan doesn't usually fall asleep for nap time anymore, but a few weeks ago he must have been really tired, and he rocked himself to sleep (this time in an actual rocking chair). How funny is that? Notice the death grip he has on the aforementioned watering cans I got at Wal-Mart (in case you can't see in the picture, his arms are looped through the handles). What can I say? My kids are crazy!

They look so cute in their Sunday best. You have such adorable kids. It's great they get to be in the nursery together so that Ethan can be Grace's protector.
