We kicked off our fourth year of Community Bible Study today. Abby and Caleb are both in real classes this year, and I'm excited that they'll both be learning about this year's theme, Trusting in God, through coloring, crafts, stories and music time.
Caleb's one of the youngest in his class, and his teachers reported that he had a great first day. He settled in easily and apparently set to work right away putting all the trucks in a pile for himself and the other boys and bringing all the girls in the class some dolls to play with. It seems he's learned well the art of distraction from his sister. As always, he loved snack time and almost ate his weight in Cheerios, and apparently he was a good helper when it came time to clean up. (This could mean either he ate all the spilled Cheerios off the floor, or he actually helped pick them up and throw them away. I'll ask for clarification next week.)
Abby was super excited to learn that her teacher this year was my teacher a few years ago, and she too had a great first day with all of her new friends. She even noticed that a few of them were bigger than she is, which is rarely the case among her age group. She's the youngest in her class again, but the teachers said she did great, and storytime and coloring were her favorite activities. No surprise there.
And because we all love flashbacks, here are your comparison photos from the last few years. (I wish I had photos from our very first year at CBS, but Abby and I were in the Babes In Arms class together that year, and having a baby in my arms meant I had no hands free for a picture.)
