So Cute

So I got to serve in Berean's nursery yesterday morning.  I forget that kids grow a lot faster than we do.  Just a few months ago Caedmon was crawling on his blanket totally content with his blocks in his mouth.  But now he can pull himself up and stand and walk around as long as he has something like a desk or stroller to hold onto.  And now Isaiah is part of the nursery!  And Serenity can pick herself up too! but she can't stand for very long.  Crazy!

Anyway, CJ was especially gross yesterday and I thought I'd share my joy.  So CJ is pretty much always eating.  He came in with some string cheese that he was taking bites of.  But when he got to the end he decided he could finish the last quarter of the stick in one bite.  I was afraid he'd choke.... Silly me, he just went on chewing, and when he didn't want to swallow (or maybe couldn't swallow) all of it he kinda spat it out.  But not really just enough so we all noticed and waited for me to wipe it from his mouth.  Cute kid......  Loro later explained that he does that when he takes big bites.

So obviously I'm not the expert on babysitting, but I think its safe enough to say I have more experience than Joong Yuhl and maybe even Sally.  It was already a bad start, since Joong Yuhl and James Hong are two people that make CJ cry just by looking at them.  Then again, He did have CJ calling him (and everyone else) papa by the end of service.(He was actually going for "big papa" but thats a little difficult for CJ)  CJ isn't good with S sounds yet so he didn't really say Sally or Sata : T

Anyway, about not being an expert in babysitting I do know a few things.  Lesson for this time is, if a kid is hungry, they'll let you know.  CJ is a little deceptive though.  I was feeding him some cut up strawberries and when he was done he found something more interesting so I stopped feeding him.  Joong Yuhl, however, wanted him to finish the strawberries so he continued to feed CJ.  But the thing with CJ is, he'll eat anything thats in front of his face.... even if he isn't hungry.  CJ finished most of the strawberries a few minutes before service ended.  And, well, with some awesome timing, Loro comes to pick up CJ and he sees her, smiles, then opens his mouth to a red fountain of undigested and chewed strawberries!  I feel bad for laughing but I don't think anyone noticed seeing how CJ was unleashing about a bowls worth of strawberries.  Which he immedietly wanted to play with.

So Cute....

seriously....

Isaiah and Serenity aren't old enough to make for good stories yet.  No less cute though.
