So, the story is...
This was advertised as basically a meet and greet with Clifford (6:30-6:50), and I assumed a story with the kids since it was hosted by the Public Library. SURPRISE! It was a parenting session - which would have been fine with me if I would have been prepared - we still probably would have gone....but I would have left the tired 16 month old at home! She was crab. I was a crab when I found out what was going on. So, I let Maren run around - it was a pick your battles night. Let her run or let her scream...so I didn't get much out of the parenting session anyway. And, Cale came back early from the kid session so we left - at 7:20 (see the 6:50 end time above). I complained and felt a little bad afterwards. I'm not quite as bitter as I was the first week - can you tell?? Anyway, the organizer of the event was just as snowballed with the parenting session as the rest of us, so that is why I feel bad. They're having 2 more sessions with Clifford - the Wehrenberg family will not be attending, along with probably several others...too bad because they did have an awesome turn out the first night. OK, I'm done with Clifford. No more complaining! :)
