Well, I attempted to Brady to another toddler story time. \u00a0We showed up, at what I thought was, half way through but in reality was only 15 minutes in. \u00a0So I don’t forget the next time I attempt to go, toddler story time is an hour. \u00a0Brady did much better this time and probably would have had the patience to listen to an entire story without grabbing other books had a rambunctious four year-old not commented on each line of the book. Brady stayed seated in my lap reading quietly until craft time began.<\/p>\n
When I asked her if she wanted to color she got up and started hunting down the crayons, eventually ending up with two baggies of crayons and nothing to write on. \u00a0I managed to keep her from writing on books or walls but when a hard surface (clipboard base) was given to her to do her project on, she immediately started coloring. \u00a0I asked her to stop but wasn’t to serious about it since it was obvious that other children had done the same. \u00a0Again, the librarian (different one this time) apparently doesn’t have much patience for two year olds like mine and freaked out. \u00a0When the paper for the art project came it became apparent this was not designed for Brady and was for the parent to assemble and the child to look at (or destroy). \u00a0We had now been there for a half hour and Brady had done so well being quiet and still-ish <\/em>that she was ready to do laps around the library. \u00a0I took this as our cue to go and so ended our second trip to toddler story time.<\/p>\n I’ll probably try to return for half of story time but Brady just isn’t into it. \u00a0She doesn’t particularly enjoy listening to the stranger read to her and none of the kids really interact with each other. \u00a0Do you think it’s worth it to keep going?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, I attempted to Brady to another toddler story time. \u00a0We showed up, at what I thought was, half way through but in reality was only 15 minutes in. \u00a0So I don’t forget the next time I attempt to go, … Continue reading
