Jan 7, 2007 marked our oldest girls first day in Primary (at church). Starting at 18 months they go to Nursury where they play with other kids, sing songs, have snacks, fight over toys and learn a few lessons. The January after turning 3 they start primary where there are with kids from 3 to 12 years old; each age group having their own teacher and sitting together. I happened to be in primary on her first day to see her nerves and excitement.
Her introduction was a bit overwhelming; I sat with her for a few minutes to help settle her in and then she sat by a girl that offered to hold her hand and be her friend. For the next 15 minutes I laughed from the back of the room while she pulled her hands away from her new friend and stuck them in her arm pits. We later learned that she likes the new friend but didn't know how to tell her to stop touching her.
By the end of church she loved primary and couldn't wait to get back. Week 2 was fun as she learned "Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" and was invited to say the prayer next week.
Kids grow up.
