Promotion Sunday

Last Sunday was Promotion Sunday at church.  I was pretty sure I was mentally prepared for it.  All the moms and dads got sweet little postcards in the mail reminding us about the big day.  But, I wasn't as prepared as I thought I would be.  She's in a new room on a new hall with new teachers, big kid toys and a potty!  When did she grow up?

Cora is quite used to the Sunday routine.  She even selected a pager and scanned it for me without me even asking her to.  (Since she's 2 now, we're no longer required to have a pager.  But, if little missy wants me to have one, who am I to argue?! ; )  So, she was a little confused when we went to a different room.  She actually cried for a minute or so, and buried her head into my neck.  Secretly, I was kind of glad to see a little bit of clinginess. Usually, I have to chase her down to get a goodbye kiss.  She did fine, though.  When I went to get her after church, she was happily playing with the plastic animals.

The really fun thing about this new class was. . .they have curriculum!!  I know that just shows the big old nerdy teacher coming out in me.  But, I was really happy to see that they had a Bible story and activities to go with it.

How fun is that?  On top of it all, she has been singing a Hallelujah song all week.  I can't figure out exactly what song it is as it is not one (that I can tell) from our regular repertoire.  Nevertheless, it's so exciting to see her starting to process these things.  I'm so proud of her!
