Today we went to toddler story time and toddler arts and crafts at our local library. It was a blast until the craft came along. Mimi had a hard time with the glue. It was an old glue stick, and had lost its' stickyiness/glueiness (probably not words, but you get the idea). I attempted to help/intervene, but she began to screaming she did not want my help, and she hit me several times!
There were lots of people there. I didn't really know what to do other than pack her and her brother up and come on home. So, that is what we did.
I love Mimi's independence, but sometimes she is so fiercely independent that she misses out on fun things. She is so focused on doing it on her own. Arg! I hope the day goes better! I stuffed the aforementioned craft into my bag. Maybe we will have a go at it here at home without the audience.

Wow, I remember plenty of moments or hours like that! Hang in there! I could handle it so much better now...age equals patience?
I feel your pain. We had a HUGE very public meltdown yesterday. It was awful.
