First Day in the Tidepool

Just wanted to write quickly to say today was the first official day Caden when to Sunday School. Jon and I have been taking Caden to church with us while we sit in the "parents" section (the foyer) or the cafe (an alternate venue where they show the service on TV screens) for all this time, but today was the big day when Caden went to his own "church". I was kind of forced into it since Jon was out of town, I had to work, and my usual "sure thing" babysitter (my mom) is on vacation. So, by default, today was the big day.
So, as I got to work, I checked Caden in, and anxiously dropped him off in the baby room, aka the Tidepool. (All of our nursery rooms in the kids building, Port Mariners, are "aquatic" themed. Someday he'll be in the Angelfish room, or the Dolphin room, or the Blowfish room...) As I spouted off to one of the volunteers what was probably way too much detail for an hour and a half away from my son, I saw all the fun things in the room and knew he'd have a good time. Bouncers, exersaucers, swings, toys galore...ok and I saw the volunteer look at my staff nametag which made me feel better too. :) Who is going to abandon a staff kid? No smart volunteer. (half kidding...) ;-)
When I peeked in on him at about 55 minutes into the 75 minute service, I saw him happily swinging in a swing, then saw a volunteer walk past him, get a funny look on her face, and quickly take him to the changing table. Yep, that's my boy. Way to poop and make a good first impression on your first day, Caden.
When I came to pick him up, he was wearing this:


See, only one day at church, and already his spiritual life has improved.
