If you work with kids....

If you work with kids, you should know a little bit about them.

For instance, if you are the director for the children's program at the library and you are going to put on a fun show to celebrate the end of the summer programs do not...
a) make them wait in line. No one will expect to have to wait in line for a library event. Seriously? Let's stick a bunch of kids together in a line for 15 minutes and expect them to not run around/go crazy/and get very impatient
b) start the show 15 minutes late. So, after kids have to wait in line they then have to sit quietly in their seats?! I don't think so.

So sadly, my "fun" plan to take Ryleigh to the library show this morning was a failure. We walked out 15 minutes into the show because she was just fed up by that point :-(



And as a side note: Thanks to a wonderful birthday gift card we go to go out to eat at the Hard Rock in AC for Ryan's birthday. When we were there I took Ry to the bathroom to change her diaper. As she was running around touching everything at her level while I was washing my hands, a maybe-21 year old girl said, "How old is she?". When I said, "18 months", she replied, "Wow! And she's walking already!".
Haha.... seriously, don't make comments about babies milestones if you know nothing about kids!

lol That's hilarious. I can relate to waiting in line, Danny will not stand for it! We took him to the train at the CM Zoo and the "conductor" thought it would be fun to wait ten minutes for more people to get in line and pile 2 adults and three kids in one tiny car meant for two children. I mean really, it comes back around in four minutes. Yah, people are not so smart!
