Crawfordsville Public Library had a special program last night to honor the birthday of Dr. Seuss. Some guy came in and talked about the good doctor's life and read some of his books. I thought it would be a good thing for Camden and I to try. Hmmmm...
Camden found a seat and enjoyed the first 10 minutes of the wait/show. She attentively watched and listened. She even clapped and raised her hands up and down as directed, right along with all the other kids and parents.
But then it quickly went down hill. The guy was a little too long, with a little too much filler. It wasn't very engaging to a 2 1/2 year old. The older kids in the audience did okay, but even I was a little restless and wanted him to get to the stories.
Camden tried the floor, but didn't venture too far from me.
Then she moved her chair up a little bit. That lasted but a few minutes. She had to potty. She had to stand. She had to crawl under my seat. We stood in the back for a while.
She took a picture from her perspective.
After about 25 minutes, she grabbed my face in both hands and said, "Mommy, let's go." She'd had enough. We went upstairs, played with the toys and picked out new books for the week. Too bad we didn't last long enough for the free Dr. Seuss book. Maybe next time...
