From Baby to Big Boy....Where has the time gone?

So yesterday at church I decided it was time to start introducing Porter to nursery. About a month before is when our ward allows the new nursery kids to come in and get a feel for their soon to be new class! They told me to stand in there for a few minutes to make sure he could get acclimated, and if he did okay...then I was welcome to leave him there.....WHAT?? I thought I would just take him in there for an hour to play...and then take him out. I was NOT prepared for my little boy's first day of nursery!


The minute the door opened and Porter saw toys...he was GONE! I stood by the door for a few seconds, then out in the hallway peeking in for the next few minutes, and he didnt seem to even notice....or care...that I had left. The teacher told me that if he had any problems he would be sure to come find me. Well, of course not being totally prepared, and secretly not really ready for him to be in nursery, I checked on him multiple times, and he was doing great. He sat at the table as the other kids did. Which is amazing because he cant get on a chair without getting onto the table at home. But he sat totally content and ate his snack with the biggest smile on his face. I wanted to cry I was so proud of how great he was doing. He is such a big boy with such an independant and outgoing personality, that I knew he would do well. When I picked him up, they were blowing bubbles, and I had to pry him away. I thought that when he saw me he would run towards me all happy that I came to "rescue" him from nursery....well not my kid. He was having a blast blowing bubbles and running a muck with all the other kids. Bro. Parker said he did "Perfect" and that he had milked snack time for as long as he could, and out ate any kid there...which was NO surprise to me!! The primary told me that I can take him from now on because he did so good. So Porter is officially in Primary! Can I really be old enough to have a baby in nursery...well I guess so, because he isnt much of a baby anymore!



(I took these pictures last week, but because I didnt take any pictures of him yesterday, these are what you get...which are freakin cute if I may say so myself!! haha)
