Olivia really looks forward to this each week and I think it is fun too. It's a good way for her to learn how to play with other kids, share and get along. She does really well...she listens, plays well and is polite. She has never thrown a tantrum or cried over not getting along or not getting her way.... yet.
It's fun because she gets to try new things I either wouldn't think of doing with her or wouldn't want to bother with the mess at home like playing in flour or stringing beads on pipe cleaners, etc.
We all take a few minutes for snack time about half way through the playday. She is learning to protect her own snack from someone grabbing hers.
One day there were so many kids we spent the second half of the time in the gym with a parachute. Olivia LOVED that and just had a ball. When the parachute was put away she and a group of kids just kept running back and forth across the gym until they couldn't anymore. They would line up at one end and say "weady, set, GO! and then run to the other end. As Olivia was running past me she would yell, "Momma! see...I wun fast!!" and laugh and laugh.
What a great way to get a bunch of kids to take a good afternoon nap!
