So when we got the calling in this ward, I too wasn't very excited. BUT it all worked out and actually it isn't too bad and when I left I really missed the kids. I suggest they play for the 1st hour and then when they clean up make it fun and encourage the kids to help (don't just do it yourself) because this teaches them a life skill. After they played we'd have snack time and of course that's the best part, except on fast Sunday (although I was pregnant and it only tortured Nathan) Then we'd sing songs and have the lesson. Keep the lesson short and interactive (make a board with pictures of the songs they sing and have them come up and choose themselves) and then we always did ring around the roses, blew bubbles etc at the end. I'm sure you'll do great!Shaunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968579069835750165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480939021399183724.post-82535724328385633042008-08-04T14:54:00.000-06:002008-08-04T14:54:00.000-06:00Hey Kristi - I was cleaning up my email when I cam...Hey Kristi - I was cleaning up my email when I came across one you sent me a while back with your blog address. I am so glad I found it, your blog is adorable. Gunnar is a cutie! I can't beleive he is two already.

I have felt that way before too, but usually things work out to being much better than I thought and I end up feeling very sad when it is time to be released. I do know too that the Lord prepares you for callings and teaches you a bunch (Which you already know that!). I am excited that you get to be in there with Gunner. You know where these children are at, what they need, what they are interested in at this age, and what they can do and learn. You are such a fun mother and you are going to be awesome in nursery! Sometimes I think we underestimate the ability of our little children learning the gospel - but they do want to learn it, and they already love it, you get to be very creative and I just love how sweet and simply they teach the basic truths of the gospel in nursery that we all need to be reminded of. We think you are going to do great! Good luck Kristi!Orton Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08838771320257326074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480939021399183724.post-70653301293251287572008-07-31T08:24:00.000-06:002008-07-31T08:24:00.000-06:00mmmm...SNACKS!

I thought what he said was great and gave a whole new perspective to a nursery calling. You'll do great!mandbridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804497164306745480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-480939021399183724.post-13914291150327244582008-07-31T00:32:00.000-06:002008-07-31T00:32:00.000-06:00I don't have any advise except to say keep the les...I don't have any advise except to say keep the lessons to about 5 minutes. :) <BR/><BR/>Just remember Nursery is the only calling were you get to have snacks every Sunday with the kids. that was my favorite part...Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09483622659374183631noreply@blogger.com
