Today for the first time we tried something new…. Story hour at the library. A friend from church invited us and the boys love books, so I thought it would be perfect.
In the first minute, I had Levi crying because he wanted to be held and then Seth started whining for him to be held.
Then I got everybody settled on my lap and Seth refused to go and sing the songs and listen to the story.
Then Seth decided he wanted to run and jump around the room while the story was being read and Levi followed suit.
Levi actually ran out of the room several times which left Seth unattended for a moment… only to return to the room and find Seth pushing kids out of the way to get the puppet he wanted.
I could feel the heat rising and my friend from church was comforting me telling me her grandchild was the same way for weeks and now she has gotten in to the routine of story hour.
Levi also had a diaper that was leaking.
Finally I had enough and Story Hour became Story Half Hour…
I definitely think we will try it again though. I will just need to be bathed in prayer before I go!
