Peyton's New Tricks...

Any day now...
She is trying to figure it out!
Here's her "push up"...
What, like you have no clue what this is doing to me?!
She is so mobile now... it will only get better (or worse?). She has earned the nicknames "Scooter" and "Squealer". She scoots wherever she wants to go, and squeals with delight at just about everything. That's how Mer got his wake-up call this morning after his "boys night out"... She has also started to either play with her left ear, or twirl what little hair she has on that side of her head when she sucks her fingers. It is so cute... even though I so wish she wouldn't suck her fingers!
My favorite thing she does now, she gets genuinely excited to see me. I can leave the room and come back, and see her get so excited. I love it. I love to just lay on the floor and play with her. She is so much fun...
Mer and I got to be together in nursery today, just like the good old days. He was the only nursery worker there, and the whole rule about guys not being alone... that put me with him. We had so much fun. But I missed being in primary with my comrades... There were only three kids there. Those kids are so cute! And Peyton got to squeal and scream all she wanted without me sush-ing her. It was sad at the end of our day in there, to watch him take the key to the toy and treat cupboard off the key ring... it has had a home there for five+ years. I think that we needs to retire his Nursery manual and that key, put them in a shadow box, and hang it on the wall in the nursery. He is moving on to the primary, CTR 7, teaching with another guy in our ward. I hope it gets the bishopbric to lay off him. They have been trying to get him out of the nursery for quite a while now. They say he's been in there for "too long". But he loves it! Why would you take someone out of there when they sincerely enjoy it? Not to mention he does a good job....

Hair and sucking fingers. Alana sucks her thumb and with her hair around her fingers. People have no idea what she is doing. She loves the feel of her hair.

OK, I'm teary-eyed, thinking of Mer taking the key off....Emma will miss him. The kids love having a daddy in there. But I'm glad his last day was a good one...

THAT's why I've had such a hard time with moving Merrill...It's so hard to find good nursery workers, who honestly love it...so what if he's been in there for a few years?
