If it makes you feel any better, my two-year old not-so-dainty daughter likes to stick her bum out (in public, of course), point to it and proceed to make farting noises. You should see the looks THAT gets me!! LOL Your little guy sounds like a fun kid! <br /><br />Thanks for the visit to my blog!

Now, my 4 yo is READY for story time. He loves it. My 2 yo.... not yet. I so get this. Thanks for writing this today. I think I needed to read it from another source...... It's been a rough day today! I came over from MBC and will definitely be back!Tracy Dhttp://faeriecastle.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4822633985209165758.post-65422023314875587872009-11-05T16:12:56.000-06:002009-11-05T16:12:56.000-06:00Hi!

I think that because he is a bit unruly doesn't mean you shouldn't keep going to the story time. But just go every few weeks or so. It will give you perspective on how his behavior is improving under those circumstances without burning you both out. He IS only 19 months! And an active boy at that. I do agree with you that with his temperament and age that physical activities would be more successful for you. But of course he does need the structure required for library visits. He'll learn how to behave in the library. It just takes practice!<br>BTW, I found you on MBC in the Calling All Commenters group. Love it if you'd stop by.Loraleehttp://careysgang.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4822633985209165758.post-76066937366204023802009-11-05T15:31:52.000-06:002009-11-05T15:31:52.000-06:00I was in Kohls today and there was a little boy ha...I was in Kohls today and there was a little boy having a total meltdown and his mom trying to be patient yet firm in telling him to stop and that they needed to leave. I really wanted to say, "I understand" "kids are so dramatic aren't they" "I'm sorry" or just "look, i"m a mom too, I get it." But instead I just shot her a look. I tried to make the look as sympathetic as possible. I didn't want to say the wrong thing or draw attention to the situation and make her feel worse. <br><br>Ok my point is that some of those moms may judge, but some may totally get it but just aren't sure how to say it or can't because of the situation. <br><br>The best part of the Kohls incident? What that smart little boy said as he was leaving. As he was leaving his mom said "maybe Santa will buy it for you, but we don't have the money for it right now." The little boy's response? "But what if Santa doesn't have the money either?" Awesome. smart, and totally adorable. I got a laugh and smile on my face!Catharinehttp://www.blissphotographymn.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4822633985209165758.post-30606017281941121642009-11-05T14:46:47.000-06:002009-11-05T14:46:47.000-06:00I can never fault the kids for being noisy at stor...I can never fault the kids for being noisy at storytime - it's what kids do. But I was always annoyed with some of the moms, on their cell phones, having some too loud, too personal conversation with the mom next to them, when the poor librarian is trying to read. It's a library, shut your pie hole!Joeyhttp://bigteethclouds.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4822633985209165758.post-72924199371391565632009-11-05T09:50:20.000-06:002009-11-05T09:50:20.000-06:00Hi!

I live in Minnesota too, doncha know?!<br><br>My 2 year old daughter, Sarah, when she was 5 months old, began SCREAMING at the top of her lungs when she was Happy! HAPPY! She was a very happy kid too.<br><br>She would see something that made her happy and scream! OH the looks I would get! And the awful people that would come up to me and ask what was wrong. It was horrible. Some people were nice and could see that she was happy. Most would stick their noses where they didn't belong. <br><br>I so enjoyed reading your posts!Laurahttp://www.thegirlnextdoorgrowsup.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4822633985209165758.post-52978598377610019872009-11-05T09:43:17.000-06:002009-11-05T09:43:17.000-06:00Sorry I didn't put my website on the last comm...Sorry I didn't put my website on the last commentBridgethttp://widgetlucy.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4822633985209165758.post-36534161918587327212009-11-05T09:43:17.001-06:002009-11-05T09:43:17.001-06:00oohh I soo know your pain, infact i've written...oohh I soo know your pain, infact i've written a post along the similar lines called "the loudest family in the world http://widgetlucy.blogspot.com/2009/09/friend-observed-my-children-other-day.html"...I'm waiting for my children to be permanently banned from our public library, i keep going back though, such a sucker for punishment. great blog :)Bridgetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4822633985209165758.post-56727990878787024652009-11-05T09:07:44.000-06:002009-11-05T09:07:44.000-06:00I can't tell you how much I needed to read thi...I can't tell you how much I needed to read this today. My GIRL is just like your BOY. She would have been the one trying to run around in story time. I feel like such a failure as a parent sometimes because I just can't control my child. And it makes it worse knowing I'm being judged. Not just by strangers but my family too. Ugh! <br><br>Thanks for sharing and encouraging me to just let her have fun and that mommy needs to take a chill pill.Debbiehttp://www.alwaysandforeverfamily.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4822633985209165758.post-22305281725084821742009-11-05T08:38:43.000-06:002009-11-05T08:38:43.000-06:00I have a mostly reserved little girl, occasionally...I have a mostly reserved little girl, occasionally she'll be loud at the library or church but typically the "shushing" quiets her. Never had drama in public or tantrums....yet. However I think it's horrible for other moms to look at other kids/moms with a glare, no one's perfect and to each their own. Typically I have sympathy for mom if their kid's really bad, but we should rejoice in boys like yours who are loving life and not being naughty but celebrating happiness. But hey that's just me.Jenn (MommyB)http://www.mommybknowsbest.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4822633985209165758.post-89525868915043003052009-11-05T03:16:22.000-06:002009-11-05T03:16:22.000-06:00We need to get Lukey and Miles together.

The thing I hate the worst is when I've totally thought through something and decided it would be okay for Isaac to do, and then someone comes along and tells him to stop. Let me be the mom!Emilyhttp://www.thedirksfamily.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
