I attend a Bible study at my church every Tuesday evening for two hours. The church provides childcare during the Bible study for children ages 3 months and older. I usually leave Luke with his daddy on Tuesday nights, but now that he is old enough I thought I would try putting him in the church nursery.
It sounded like a good idea at the time, but as the day got closer, the knot in my stomach grew bigger!
I'm not sure who cried more when I left him, me or him.
I don't think I heard a word of our lesson that night...It was still the same two hour lesson, but it honestly felt like an eternity! I must have looked at the monitor a hundred times to make sure Luke's name wasn't scrolling across it. I think I was secretly hoping that his name would appear so that I would have to leave early and go get him. I had no idea how hard it would be...I missed him so much!
I did manage to sneak out once to peek in on him and it was the cutest thing ever! The ladies that work in the nursery were singing "Jesus Loves Me" to all the babies while one of them was rocking Luke.
We both made it through and I am planning on trying again next week, but I'm not promising that there won't be any tears. And honestly when we got home, Luke was so pooped out...I gave him his bath, fed him and sang to him, and he slept the longest he's ever slept...6 hours straight!
Here he is waking up after 6 straight hours of sleep.
