Kayla started in nursery last month. The first Sunday she went in, I put her down on the floor and she got this huge frown on her face and these crocodile tears coming out her eyes, without actually crying. It took her a few minutes after I left til she got distracted by the toys enough to get over her pouting, and she's done fine ever since.
Last Sunday, the Primary chorister, our friend Shauna, went into nursery to do some music time for the first time. She related that her visit to the nursery had a mixed reception--some of the kids could care less and basically went about their business while she tried to sing, while others participated. Happily, she said that Kayla got involved with the singing--swinging her arms like she was conducting along with Shauna, and loved doing the motions for the songs, like springing up on "Sunbeam" for "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam." It's not too surprising since she really enjoys our singing time as a family at bedtime. She'll stop what she's doing and we'll hear her "ba-da-ing" along, the extent of her singing up to now. She just wouldn't be a part of our family if she didn't like music.
On a side note: she isn't talking much yet, still just the basic Mom, Da, tha(t), yea. She communicates well, just not with words.

That's awesome. Hopefully she'll continue to enjoy nursery. I haven't been so lucky. I've had the perpetual screamers. I am glad that she enjoys the music time too.
It's true- Kayla was super-cute with her popcorn hands! She really did great.
