We went to Baby Bookworms yesterday and Carter did better than normal (though he still got away from me and ran in circles in the center of the room a couple of times). He generally hung out in the corner by the window with me and another mom and her son that we met a few months ago at the splash pad. I found out from her that our favorite program, Mother Goose, ran out of funding so it has been canceled. That meant we had nothing else to do today.
I was nervous about going to the Toddler Storytime because I knew Carter was going to have to stay with me instead of wander around the room. And Caitlyn and Carter tend to feed off one another and want to play together instead of sit. But I decided to go anyway because today is Caitlyn's birthday and we wanted to wish her a happy birthday!
Carter surprised me and did GREAT! He sat on my lap or next to me most of the time and only wandered to a chair next to me to sit on it. And he never yelled out or started to throw a fit when I stopped him from leaving me. I'm still in shock!
Carter liked the portions of the storytime he paid attention to. Marilyn (the librarian that does both programs) read 3 or 4 books, did a few stories on a felt board, and sang several songs. This storytime isn't based on motions and clapping like the younger one, but I liked it just as much.
At one point Carter and Caitlyn were sitting on the floor next to each other. Lately when Caitlyn tries to give Carter a hug or hold his hand, he pulls away and gets mad. Not today. Carter and Caitlyn gave each other about half a dozen kisses on the lips!
Here's a picture of Carter with the birthday girl after class ...
