Sunday School Shenanigans

1. Last week Amelie joined my Sunday School class of 3-5 year olds since she was having a hard time in her class. I stood at the front of 21 preschoolers, 4 helpers, and 2 parents, teaching my little heart out and ignoring Amelie who intertwined herself with my legs. After a while, I realized what I had been tuning out: Amelie was holding onto the zipper on the front of my dress pants and moving it up and down and up and down. Good morning, everyone!

2. One little girl asked how old I was. As always, I replied, "How old do you think I am?" It's fun to see how far off little kids are about age. "Forty!" she sang out. Okay, it was fun when they used to be far off! Now I'm getting too close for that to be funny!

3. I hooked my laptop up to our wall projector to play some worship videos I'd downloaded from YouTube, and the kids were fascinated by my screensaver picture of my family. "Who's that little girl?" they chorused. (That's Amelie, my 2-year-old.) "Who's that other girl?" (That's Elizabeth, my 6-year-old.) "And who's that little boy?" (Uh, that's Isaac, my husband!)

You never know what they'll come up with next!
