Story Hour Revisited...

Last night I asked Aaron if he wanted to go to story hour at the library. He said "Aaron listen! Play yellow egg!" (The librarian had yellow shaker eggs last time). So, we decided to give the story hour another try.

Today was much better than our last time, but still not perfect! Once again, Aaron was way outnumbered by the girls. But, he sat quietly and listened to the first story. He watched the girls sing "Where is Thumbkin" and he even paid attention to "Barkley" (the dog puppet). Then, the librarian got out those darn eggs again! After singing and dancing with them, Aaron did not want to put them away! He started fussing and yelling when I made him put the eggs back in their bucket. After that, there was no getting his attention back on the stories and games. So, I had a talk with him and gave him the choice of listening or going home, and he chose going home. So, we left.

I just keep telling myself that we are making progress!

Yeah, I had a few "talks" with you, too. But, you weren't given many options....The "Apple Syndrome" strikes again....
