Isaac might not be ready for sunbeams

Last week Isaac cried and yelled when I left nursery until they came and got me. I took him to his mom in junior nursery, where he spent the day.

Today Isaac cried and yelled after Rachel dropped him off until he fell asleep. When the other kids were practicing sitting in chairs and singing songs, Isaac refused to have anything to do with it.

We suggested to the primary president that Isaac isn't ready for sunbeams -- he's still less verbal than your average two year old, and he's been assessed with delayed social skills as well. Matthew had similar problems at that age, and I still remember what a hard time he had in sunbeams, crying every week for months. I suggested keeping him back too, but to our bishopric at the time it wasn't an option; if you were 3 in January you went to sunbeams, period. Today I would / will fight harder.

This president said that instead of keeping Isaac back, they'll call someone to be a full-time Isaac minder during primary. This ward is huge, with not enough callings to go around, so maybe that will work. But, she was actually just released so we will revisit the matter with the new one.
