Ethan Goes to Nursery!

I'm still in shock (and utter excitement) that Ethan started nursery two weeks ago. Let me rephrase that....Brandon is excited that Ethan started nursery! As any parent of a one year-old can tell you, church is a little (okay a lot) different with kids. His Sundays went a little like this--wrestle with Ethan during Sacrament meeting to keep him from screaming and running around, leave Sunday School class and chase Ethan around the church, try to sit in Priesthood class and listen to the lesson while Ethan screams, runs around, climbs on the chairs, and spills Cheerios, Goldfish, and fruit snacks all over the floor. Not the most spiritual experience, as you can imagine. He does this for three hours (including Sacrament) while I'm holding down the fort in Primary (not an easy job either but I definitely wouldn't want to trade places). At any rate, Brandon now gets something out of priesthood--assuming the teacher prepared a lesson. ;-) Ethan was so excited to go to nursery that he jumped out of Brandon's arms to get in the door. Our baby boy is growing up!

There's a reason we need to strengthen our testimonies when we're young... because we don't get many spiritual lessons in for many years while our children are young. Did Brandon touch the ceiling on that jump? And how many girl's numbers did Ethan get in nursery that day?? PIMP!

That picture of Brandon is hilarious. Whoever said white boys can't jump ain't seen Brandon on Ethan's first day of nursery. :)

That's funny! I'm more excited for Brandon than Ethan.
