MOPS

Two weeks ago we went to our first Sunday service at the church we decided to start going to. It's a baptist church, exactly what we were looking for, and it's about 2 miles down the road. Perfect! And a plus is that they have a MOPS group which is what I wanted to get into. MOPS is Mothers of Pre Schoolers. It's for moms with children up to kindergarten. They meet twice a month for 2 hours each, theyp provide daycare for your child and you meet with all the other moms, have breakfast, listen to speakers, do crafts and have discussion time, all at the church!

I went to my first MOPS yesterday. I LOVE it!! I was a little worried about leaving Skylar because he hasn't been sleeping good this week and got up at 5:30 that morning. I would be leaving him for 2 hours and right during nap time! AND the only other time I ever left him with someone he didn't know was the first time at church and he did ok. He cried when I dropped him off but other than that, they said he did great! They would have come and got me if it was too bad, and I honestly was waiting for someone to come get me the whole time. But they said he played great, ate a snack and actually took a nap!! WOW! I was so impressed with him and so happy to know that I can leave him and enjoy MOPS!

My first day just happened to be Craft Day! YAY! I love crafts! We made necklaces with our child's name on them and added some charms! You took a washer, hammered letters into it to spell the name, colored over it with a marker, then wiped it off with a baby wipe and the letters kept the color. Then put it on a chain and add a charm or two! Now, the letters were a little difficult. And my OCD didn't handle it well. I would have re-done it if I wouldn't have looked like a nut job! :) Fun with a bunch of other moms! I will definitely be going back in 2 weeks for the next meeting.

Here is my necklace!
