Violet has joined a summer book club with some of her school friends. They usually hold meetings in the library but since the room was booked, one of her friends offered to host at her house. Nine 9-year olds at someone's house turns into more of a play date than book club meeting. Add to that the mother served snacks so the sugar rush wasn't helping. After 10 minutes of total and utter chaos, I was ready to snatch Violet up and take her home. Thankfully one of the mothers stepped in and gained control of the meeting.
It still wasn't completely controlled but what can you except from little girls. Violet is so well behaved that she and one of her friends were the only ones who remained seated through the entire meeting and actually acted as though they were interested. I still think this is a great idea for social as well as learning experiences. But I may be "busy" on days when the library room is booked!
