The kids always enjoy the vacation bible school (VBS) at our church. Last year I worked as a VBS teacher in the 3 year old room all week. Needless to say this isn't my cup of tea. As much as I love having my kids attend VBS I don't think that I am the right person to be a teacher. It stressed me out! This is more of Robb's thing. He would be great at this but unfortunately it is all week during the morning so that doesn't work out for most people that have a job. I didn't sign up to help this year since I felt like I paid my dues last year and I also was suppose to have jury duty ( I got it deferred) but I thought this could be my year off.
The week before VBS started I got a call on my cell phone and I didn't know the number so I answered it. It happened to be the Education Director of our church wanting to know if there was anyway I could teach the kindergarten class. As much as I wanted to decline I am just really bad at saying NO so I took one for the team and agreed to do it again this year. God Grant Me Patience!
I was worried that Abby would be nervous about going since I wasnt' her teacher but she did great. She knew one of the little girls in her class and she absolutely loved her teacher. She had a blast all week. It was really cute to look over during music time and see her doing all the actions and belting out the songs. This is Abby all ready to go for the morning. We did have to take the bling down a notch and took off the clip on earrings and the glasses.
Caleb was thrilled that I was going to be his teacher! This took a lot of the anxiety out of the whole thing for him. He had fun all week and even did OK on the one day that I didn't teach. He had a blast at rec time and was always excited to see what the game was for the day.
Bryce was also really excited that I was going to be his teacher. Seeing how excited the boys were that I was going to be teaching their class made it worth it even if it did try my patience at times. Bryce liked the music time but his favorite by far was craft time. He always put 110% effort into his craft and was always really proud of what he made.
It ended up being a good week and I really shouldn't have dreaded teaching so much.
