Lots and lots of crying
Day 19 - June 29
It was another great day in Oklahoma - the weather has been fantastic. I don’t know what the temperature low was, but I don’t think the high passed 90 degrees. It was so nice out this morning that I just put the dogs out there and left to serve at the church. I love Oklahoma.
Originally I’d asked to serve in the tiny baby room at LifeChurch.tv’s Oklahoma City Campus. But it slowly became apparent that the next two rooms up, 12-18 months and 19-24 months needed more help. I was hesitant to switch at first simply because I have Montessori training with little babies (I was a classroom assistant when we lived in Houston - loved every minute of it). Not having any children of my own I wasn’t sure I’d know how to handle the needs of a walking, sort-of-talking toddler. God’s given me confidence though, and now I look forward to whatever awaits me in that room each week. Today was one of those days that I don’t think any parent looks forward to… at least 5 of them cried nearly the entire hour. It was so chaotic that between myself and another volunteer we couldn’t even manage to change all the babies’ diapers! It was fun though. Chaos like that makes me appreciate the peace and quiet we have at our house.
