It happened again....

Well the poor little girl who was just dropped off by her dad and then left alone at the church was dropped off again. She required help with her bible and reading the passage. Fortunately, one young girl had both parents there and they were able to divide to help her and their own daughter at the same time. But what was interesting was that another parent did the same thing. They just left their child at the church alone. When the program was over the parents weren't anywhere to be found.

The first little girl must have been told to pretend to leave the church after the class and then hide somewhere until someone came to get her. But I saw her dad coming up the walk and he had to search for her. The other girl's dad was out on the playground with the younger siblings. I realize that it is harder for people to go to church and these lessons when they have to haul the younger siblings along for the ride. But these classes are not easy for the children and this is a large group.

I took my children to the bookstore that is closing. We got some books for them. My oldest picked out a book on how to knit (for children). It came with some yarn, a crochet hook, a yarn needle and knitting needles. She sat and read the book the entire trip home and then sat down to work on a scarf (the only thing in the book that was all knit...the other things have purl and since she isn't ready to learn purl). She has been sitting patiently working on the knit stitch using some yarn that I had already wrapped. The other yarn is in skeins that have to be put on a swift and made into center pull balls. She has some definite design elements, but that is okay she wants to be a good knitter and make things for herself. I will not discourage her.

My other daughter got a book and kit to make "puppies" and she lost interest (over Harry Potter) and is watching tv. My youngest got a book where she could write in it. It came with a special pencil.

Time to get off and do some work. Have a good Sunday.
