Tonight we took all of the children to the library for a program. It was called splish splash something or other... I am not really sure why it was called that, but we went anyway. The librarian read a book about a crazy frog, then the kids played a little game (or so they called it). Then they "sang" the cutest little song about five little ducklings. It was super cute to watch Alivya participate in this activity. She totally came out of her shell and did all the hand motions... Taylor would not even go up with the other kids, he clung to Jon. After the song they got to color and assemble paper frogs. This was an activity that Taylor and Alivya really got into. I was surprised how well both of them colored. Taylor actually got upset when the librarian turned off the lights for the little movie that was on the agenda next. He sat on my lap in the dark until every bit of that frog was colored. The little move that Taylor missed, was pretty ridiculous. It was a really simple cartoon drawn about a jingle about a frog. It was copyrighted from the seventies, and was not too off the Duck and Cover type vids we studied when I was in high school.
Ava and Wes went crazy in the large empty room that all this was being held in. They scrambled on all fours all around the room. Ava squealing with pure glee. Wes got into this himself, but not as loud and obnoxiously as Ava. It was a really tough sell for them, neither sat very well through any part of the half hour event. Hopefully some library time during the school hours will help with this.
