Vacation Bible Alternative School

This week is VBS at our church. Zoe gets to attend because Grandma works in her class. Typically the 2-3 year old class is only for VBS workers children and grandchildren. Grandma likes to get Zoe involved in things, so she volunteers for VBS in Zoe's class.

At pre-registration on Sunday, Zoe's class was the biggest. There were going to be thirteen 2-3 year olds out of 27 kids total.

My mom was gearing up for a busy day.

I don't think she was prepared for what happened. During the first hour of play time and then snacks Zoe did great.

Then they asked her to sit on the floor and listen to a story. She wanted to play with the blocks. That's when the crying started.

Fortunately for Zoe, another little boy, Gabe had started his meltdown about 15 minutes before her.

They went with Grandma to the nursery for the last 90 minutes of class. She and Gabe were the VBS drop-outs on Monday.

Fortunately for her reputation (and Gabe's) both of them made it through VBS on Tuesday. She came home with a cute giraffe standing in some dirt in a cup with stickers, many stickers on the outside.

We'll see how today goes. Hopefully she makes it through today. If she does then she'll learn the song they are singing at church on Sunday. On the stage.

Then we can put the whole Monday drop-out behind us.

That is until she sees all the strangers staring at her.
