Despite meltdowns and some crappy rainy/icy weather, we made it to story time this morning. Miss Linda had some interesting things in store for the kids. Usually there is a rice table for the kids to play in and some sort of craft project in addition to the various stations she had set up, but today she decided to fill a water table full of snow and have a very messy stamping paint project. You could see the looks of horror on every adult's face as she announced this. Max was only interested in the paint long enough to get his hands dirty and paint on his shirt, then he ran off to the snow table. I was worried with all the snow throwing we did the day before that he would do the same at the library. He actually surprised me by showing some self control, until another boy started flinging snow.
I really like this program, but I'm finding it harder and harder to get Max to behave appropriately. I know these toddlers are toddlers(and mine is FAR from perfect), but there are a few boys Max's age that can get pretty squirrelly. This would be fine, but Max sees them acting out and he thinks it is okay for him to do as well. I'd hate to stop going, but we might need to figure out a different arrangement with Lu so Max has my full attention.
Max is starting to get annoyed with the constant picture taking.
