Daphne's First Day in Nursery and More

Daphne had her first day in Nursery at Church on Sunday. She cried a little when I left, but her teachers said she did pretty good; they said she was fine as long as she was close to Dayton (he'll be in class with her for 3 more months until he moves up). If I wasn't teaching in Primary, I probably would have checked in on her a few times. Derrick peaked in once and said she was doing just fine.

Other funny developments in Daphne's life:

1) She is becoming a perfect copycat of Dayton. She says anything he says, and does anything he does. If Dayton doesn't want a bite of dinner- neither does Daphne. If Dayton needs to pee on the potty- so does Daphne. If Dayton hurt his knee and wants me to kiss it- so does Daphne. If Dayton says he's cold and needs socks, guess who else does, too? She's even asking to wear his clothes and his shoes now, which Dayton is handling fairly well.

2) For the past month, she has the habit of taking between one and three babies to bed with her; stuffed animals and her doll are also welcome if she thinks of them when it's time to get in bed.

3) She got two shots for her 18-month check-up. After the first one, she looked at the nurse with a puzzled look and said, "Ow" as though the nurse had barely touched her- no whining or crying. The nurse and I were both amazed at Daphne's calm demeanor and almost nonexistent reaction. After the second shot, she said "ow" again, and then cried a little until she got her cookies for her visit. What a brave girl. Maybe Dayton's been bullying her so much that she has a high tolerance for pain now.
