Church Nursery
February 18, 2007 7:04 pm GeneralWe took Sam to church with us for the first time two weeks ago. He sat in his carrier in the pew next to us and was pretty quiet for most of the service – in fact he slept right through it! Today Robert wanted to put him in the nursery while we went to church. I wasn’t ready to leave him quite yet, but knew I had to start sometime. Knowing the nursery workers helped comfort me some, since I had volunteered in the nursery for several years with them. Sam was sleeping peacefully when we dropped him off, not that he would have known we were leaving him even if he had he been awake!
After the service, I had to go check on him like a good mother! I’m glad I did because the bottle that we had packed for him was leaking…..I had put one brand of bottle with another brand of nipple and they were not compatible! More milk was leaking from the bottle than was getting into Sam. Fortunately, I was able to nurse him before he got too hungry and upset.
I’m sure this is just one of many “new parent” mishaps we’ll have!

oh my word; i am SO impressed with you guys, leaving him in the church nursery already…i can already tell i’m going to have some MAJOR separation anxiety (isn’t the CHILD supposed to have that??) once i start. (yeah, that’s right…she really is 7 months and we haven’t left her yet…but who’s counting?) 🙂
