Sunbeams

I don't know if I mentioned this on my blog before or not, but my current calling in church is with the Sunbeams. There is one other woman who serves with me, and together we are responsible for between 9 and 12 three-year-olds.
And that is a lot of three-year-olds.

Did you know?
Three-year-olds don't like to sit still and be quiet and listen to the lesson.
Three-year-olds need help during the potty break and they like to raise their hands and tell you about their birthday when you're trying to tell them about Jesus.
Three-year-olds like to raise their hands, period, and that's only after you've reminded them that if they have something to say, they need to raise their hand and not yell it out over and over again until someone acknowledges them.
Three-year-olds will raise their hands and yell "Sister! Sister!" until you've acknowledged that they've raised their hand so that they can tell you about their birthday.
Three-year-olds cry and insist on sitting in your lap despite the fact that your lap might be non-existent at the moment. Sometimes they will adjust themselves by elbowing your pregnant belly.
Three-year-old girls refuse to hold hands with or sit by three-year-old boys. Three-year-old boys refuse to hold hands with or sit by three-year-old girls.

Sundays: Day of rest?

Nope.

  1. HA!!! Three year olds interrupting to tell you about anything when you're trying to tell them about anything, so very very true. Good luck!
