God's Big Backyard!

We had our first trip to Bible School this week. I was a little worried that Lucy was too young to get the lessons or even have some fun, but boy was I wrong. We walked into the church and she acted shy, but all of a sudden the herd of kids started their way down the hall toward the sanctuary, and Lucy was off! She joined right in with them in the first row singing and dancing. Then it was off to crafts which is a new love for her now, and she calls them "craps" by the way. And then came my biggest concern, the class. She was in Ms. Stacey's class of all 3 year olds and I was sure she'd cry for me and not listen at all. Once again, I was wrong. Lucy sat as quietly and as still as anyone and listened to every word Ms. Stacey said. She colored her pages, put her stickers on her book, and LOVED learning about the stories of the bible. I have to say bible school was such a great memory for me, and I'm so glad Lucy will have those same memories. Although she had a ball all week, when it came time to sing in front of the congregation Sunday morning, she didn't do so hot. After being in the sanctuary with just the kids and a few teachers and her Mommy right behind her, she didn't know what to do with all those people suddenly there staring at her. She cried each of the four times I tried to make her go back up. We finally gave up, but we were so proud of her for acting like a big girl all week!
