Small Successes

Even small successes make me happy. Today I left Addie in nursery during Relief Society by herself and she didn't cry! I peeked in a few times and she was being sassy with a boy that kept poking her, scrubbing the table with a baby wipe, and playing ring around the rosy with great vigor.

I subbed nursery during Sunday school and Addie was being clingy like usual, but then she loosened up! YAY!

Jarom and I both got a new calling...together. Primary. So excited. Can you tell? We will teach the 11 year olds for just a few weeks, and then our permanent class will be the 5 year olds...AKA the rowdy class full of boys that no one can handle well. I hope Addie continues to get more comfortable in nursery so that we can teach these little angels without wrangling Addie at the same time. I was told we were given this call in hopes that the both of us can "man-handle the boys"... Encouraging. This is the third time Jarom and I have been called to teach the 5 year olds in Primary! Once in Harvest, once in Sparkman. Either we aren't getting something right, or we are good with 5 year olds. I'll miss my old calling of almost 4 years...Activity Days. I'm kind of bummed as the first girl to complete the program in our ward in a LONG time isn't quite done... just the bishop's interview left.

And on another note. Addie's new thing to tell me all the time is "No thank you Mommy". This apparently works conveniently for her when I ask things such as "Do you need to come potty?" "Eat your food Addie" and other things that Addie doesn't want to do. Seriously how do you not say "Okay" when she says it so nicely?!
