A new club for Cora

On Wednesday night we took Cora to her orientation for Pioneer Clubs, a Christian Scouts-like organization sponsored by the same church we meet at for MOPS.

A few months ago, the Pioneer Clubs lady came and spoke at MOPS, and I learned that several of my friends take their children. Last year they started a class for 2- and 3-year-olds, so Cora is old enough to participate.

Doesn't she look adorable in her "Skipper" t-shirt? That's the name of the level she's in.

Every week, she will hear a Bible story, make a craft, do fun activities and have a snack. After each unit, she'll earn a patch. And, her Daddy and I will get an hour to ourselves while she's there! They even serve dinner before the club meeting, so if we like what's on the menu, for $3 a person, we can eat there together beforehand. No cooking or dishes!

On Wednesday, we parents got "oriented" and then all the children came in to sing a couple of songs. Cora wasn't with them, because she didn't know the songs, since she didn't participate last year. Well, watching those kids up front was too much - she had to join in. She ran up and joined the bigger kids (her small group of red-shirts was on the other side of the stage), and did her best to sing and dance along, a huge smile plastered on her face. No stage fright here!

Afterwards, there was ice cream for everyone.
