The Jensen Journey

So today was my first day in nursery. I was recently released from being the primary chorister . . . which I have been doing for almost 3 years! I loved that calling! So fun to be with the kids - but I'm excited about nursery. It was a bit crazy though today. I had planned a bunch of fun things about being thankful for our hands . . . and things were going really well - but then it seemed just like one thing after another. Suddenly 3 kids needed to go to the restroom. This little boy - who's first week it was in nursery was doing so well . . . but then he suddenly lost it and was going bonkers - and then the stake lady who was visiting (it was ward conference) walked in to observe. :) great! It was OK though - Anthony had come in a little before to help . . . and he was able to sing some songs with the kids while I went to handle the crises. Anyway - I'm excited about nursery - the kids are so fun! And probably the best part about today - was Allison was amazing during sacrament meeting! She quietly played with her quiet book and then when she got tired with that - she reached up for Anthony's ear - pulled it towards her and quietly whispered, "I need something else to do". Perfect! Carter on the other hand wasn't so wonderful - he was tired and ornery - and so I spent most of the meeting out in the hall . . . when it was time for the intermediate hymn - I wasn't quite sure if it was time or not . . . so I asked Anthony and I noticed nobody was getting up - so I figured it was - so I went up to play the song and started in . . . and then the chorister kept giving me this funny look. I checked back at the hymn number- saw I was on the right page - so kept playing the introduction. Still I could tell something was wrong - so I finally realized that I was playing the closing hymn rather than the intermediate hymn. I carefully finished the introduction, turned the page to the correct hymn and started again. Oh dear!
