MOPS

We are officially part of MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers-although it's for mothers of any under school age kid). For more info on it click on this link: MOPS I feel very fortunate to be a part of this group.  There is a waiting list and I didn't think we'd even be able to get in.  This year there are a lot of babies and the nursery was full, but since Maddie can walk so well we were able to move her up to the next room (18-24 mo.)!

I decided I wanted to get the kids involved in something that will allow them time to interact with other kiddos, especially since we aren't doing CMO this year. The bonus is that it is Christian based! Our MOPS is especially nice because we have the MOPPETS program which has people caring for our children while we have the meetings.  Not all MOPS have this so we are very blessed! And the way it works is we will have meetings every other Wednesday but the kids still go every week.  So the weeks we don't have meetings will be FREE TIME! Which for me will mean grocery shopping without kids! Yahoo!

Our first day was this week.  It was a lot of introductory stuff and paperwork, but I can tell it's going to be a wonderful experience for us.  The group of ladies will be a good source of support and fellowship.  When I picked up the kids from their rooms Nate was playing with play-doh and there were bubbles being blown in Maddie's room.  Both of them did very well with me leaving them in a new place so that was a little extra bonus that I didn't have to deal with a crying kid at drop off. 

We are very excited about this new adventure and look forward to the experiences MOPS will bring us this year!
