JAM Paint Day

JAM (Jesus And Me) is our children's program at church. Today we had a paint day so that we would have some canvases to put on the walls of our new building (how exciting!) I caught myself trying to make Tucker's painting perfect, not like an 18 month old's painting. What, I wanted it to look good?! His handprint looked like a bear paw becuase he didnt spread out his little fingers. I forgot to take a photo of the painting that will go on the wall, but I included the replica that they painted on cardboard to take home (which I will cherish!). I have it hanging on my kitchen window! This one he truely did mostly on his own. The painting is a handprint that is a tree.

A bible story was read and the children gathered around. I was so proud that Tucker actually decided to step away from me for a couple of minutes to be a part of the group. All of a sudden I see a smile on his face and he has found his crazy yellow car that he carries around. Apparently, he had dropped it earlier that morning and he discovered it during storytime. He broke it out and others started wanting to play with him.

After the painting, they got to decorate their cupcake. Forget decorating, Tucker wanted to just begin eating! The little girl in the picture holding Tucker is Hallie. She is a sweet, precious girl that is in my class this year. She was a big help to help entertain and watch Tucker while I cleaned up. You can see in the picture how happy he is with her.

Check out the picture of Haley's husband, Kevin, holding Tucker. Tucker didn't like it very much. Haley, you did a really good job getting everything together.!It was such a great idea and was very well organized.
