Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam....

At our church the children go to their own classes while the parents go to their classes. (Sunday school, Priesthood and Relief Society.) The children's organization is called Primary. They have thier own indiviual classes that help the to learn and be included in the gospel.
Today was Mattix's first day of Primary. He turned 3 on his birthday and now with the new year, he's officially a Sunbeam.
(That is what they call their age group.)
He was very nervous. He didn't want me to leave him. As we sat there one of his good friends, Colby came in and sat next to him. They started playing and I could see the relief on Mattix's face. After a few minutes I asked him if he felt brave enough for me to leave. And he said "Yes." I left and went to my class. I kind of thought he might get brought to me crying. He never did. I went to pick him up and he was happy. His class made this cute Sunbeam bag. He's very proud to be in the big kid class now. Can you tell?
Manning isn't quite old enough for the nursery. But 2011 it's our year. Sometime around May he'll be 18 months. Than mommy won't have to chase him around the Relief Society room.

Mason has moved up to the CTR 5 class. Here he is sporting his new CTR ring and his new scripture bag along with his new Book of Mormon. All the Primary kids got a new bag and book for Christmas. My boys are very excited to have their own.
This year we have the 11-2 schedule at church. I love this schedule. The only thing that is a bummer about it is, it's the middle of lunch. So we make sure to bring plenty of snacks.
