Here are some pictures from our friend, Monica's Bible Club meeting!Cassie's personality is really developing...and I can see it more clearly when we're around other children. I see Cassie as one who likes to observe and watch what's going on first...then she'll join in. I predict that the next couple of times we go to Bible club, Cassie will be much more quick to sing and march with everyone else. This time, however, she watched Mommy march and sing, occasionally running over to join me but more often just watching. I really want to be careful to communicate that I respect and cherish her unique personality-- the fact that she likes to observe first before she jumps in is a great characteristic. As long as she's being appropriate and respectful to others, I don't mind if she watches from the sidelines. I went ahead and did everything the moms and kids were doing...sometimes she sat with me, other times she went farther away to get a different point of view. I didn't try to convince her to do anything (I asked her and if she said 'no' I dropped the issue). When she DID come over, I told her I was glad to have her sing next to me. Well, that's enough of my parenting philosophy...here are some pictures:

You and Cassie did great! Thanks for coming, we were so glad you could finally make it! Great pics!
That's so great Kay, what a great reminder. Eits is an observer first too, but then we he has scoped out enough, he starts doing his thing! :) Sometimes takes longer than others, but now I think that time is shortening. Maybe hers' will too :) Wish I could have been there. Hope to see you soon!
Bible Club was a lot of fun. I am glad I had a chance to go with the kids.
