My new calling

These are some of the cutest little children in the ward. There is just something about a little 2 year old that looks at you with love and admiration that melts your heart. Even though this is not happening yet I look forward to when it does. I have been released as the Webelos assistant in Cub Scouts and have been put in as the new Nursery Leader. I will have about 9 kids total and only about 4 more joining us throughout the year. It is not very big, but we will have a lot of fun. I am thinking about putting together a "little helper" chart where the kids can move their picture to let them know what they are going to help with that day. I collected some ideas from my sister Ginger that is in her Nursery in her ward and am open for any otherideas that you may have. One idea I liked was they brought in a clothes line with clothes pins and they would hang their art for display until their parents came to pick them up. I took all their pictures and I am going to make a welcome chart so we can tell who is there each week and who we are missing. We have a music leader that comes in at the end of the time to teach music for 15 min. and I am going to make a rotating schedule with the other leaders so we can share teaching the leassons each week. The number one things that I am going to focus on are LOVE, SAFETY and CONSISTANCY for these little ones. We will have them ready to enter Primary for sure. I look forward to this challenge and cannot wait until the little ones look at me with recognition and actually want me to hold them in my arms.
