1st Day at Nursery and 1st Day at 2 and 3 year olds - Church

Big day for the Hanson girls. All three of us! :-) We started by brining Madison to the nursery at church. Phew, this was a hard one for me but I knew Madison would warm up immediately to the gals in there. Thankfully Megan Volz was in there and greeted all four of us with a warm inviting smile and open arms to receive Miss Madison. I told her I was a bit nervous because Madison has only been with Bill, Me or my mother-in-law. We chose Saturday night because it worked well around her feeding schedule on the g-tube and overall our schedule. We wanted a smaller group for each of the girls for various reasons, more calming and less germs and viruses! 

As you can see Madison was studying Megan right away and they connected. 

 Next was Abigail. We tried many months ago to all go to service and bring Abigail to her classroom but a little girl had a runny nose. They thought it was allergies but we couldn't take chances with Madison so we had to pull her from the class. As you can see by the picture above she wasn't handling us leaving very well. She wanted Bill or I to go with her. Thankfull Katie Wherle was there and greeted us with a big smile and offered to take Abigail from me if I picked her up and promised to call if she cried more than 15 minutes. I had a difficult time hearing Abigail scream and cry as we walked away.

Gulp, it was a hard evening in service for me and I cried during praise and worship and constantly thought about the girls in service. Bill didn't quite understand my struggle so I am very grateful for a big God that does!

I left service a few minutes early to get Madison's feed started and give her meds. We had a few visitors Andrew and the Cours stopped by to say Hi. Lisa's timing was perfect because usually Madison is so squirmy it's hard to give her meds but Lisa being there distracted her. :-) It was nice that Lisa could see her because she hadn't seen her since the open heart surgery last year in Boston.

When I picked up Madison, the ladies were so impressed with Madison's ability to scoot around so fast. :-) Try running after her with a pole and her attached to a feeding tube. HAHAHA. They said she did great!

Lisa and I walked over to pick up Abigail and Aiden (her son) who was also in Abigail's class. Abigail looked a bit scared and confused when she saw me at the door. Poor thing, her personality is so much like mine in so many ways! Katie said she did great, she didn't sing with the group but watched. One of the young workers handed me Abigail's picture of David that she colored. In the car I asked what she did and she said "sang" and I said what else and she just had this cute little smile and would look up at the sky and say ummmmm. She seemed to enjoy it. When she went in the car seat she said "do again?" so that means she had fun. I saw this little rainbow sticker on her shirt so I asked her about it she just said "doctors". She is so use to going to the doctors and getting stickers that she must automatically associate stickers with doctors!

A tired looking Abigail! So proud of her she did great in her first day of class and without a nap! Yahooo Abigail!

Madison also looks tired with only a 15 minute nap today! So proud of Madison too!

Great job girls!

Here is Abigail's coloring of David! Way to go Abigail!

Abigail was all excited to go back outside after service. Grabbed my hand and kept pulling me to come. She wanted to see the sun again! She kept asking God "light on" as we were going to church because she could see it wasn't as bright as earlier. Such a sweetheart! "God, please light on now." She just loves the sun, moon, starts, and can't forget lighting and thunder!

Finished the night at Burger King with a cone! The girls fells asleep in the car and went straight to bed and I got a few minutes to write this. Thank you Lord Jesus for a wonderful service and that my girls did so well! To God be all the glory and honor!
