We went to the Feb Hatterdays and DS7 said he really enjoyed it -it was about the heart/body and was based around the Magic School Bus theme....At the end of the time, the older kids had been disecting pig hearts and the coordinator brought a pig heart down to show the younger class and my son thought that was awesome. The parent session was okay...I didn't quite know what to expect as this was our first - we kind of thought maybe that a specialist or someone would be there to do a small talk on perfectionism and it was the Hatterdays Coordinator who gave the talk....she is one great lady and man talk about energy! She passed out some fliers from some sites and shared some book ideas but it was about the same kind of materials you find on the SENG site and on here so nothing new to really pass on - but it was still interesting. I would have loved the chance to hear some of the parents share some of their issues with perfectionism and then maybe have a guest speaker address some of the issues brought up.
We didn't make the March one on March 13 because it was the same date as the Huge Pokemon State Championship Tournament DS wanted to do...and then the next one lands on April 17 and DH and I will be going to see Bon Jovi in Tampa that evening and the grandparents are coming down to watch DS...they said they didn't feel comfortable driving 1.5 hours away with our little guy so he is going to miss out- we tried to tell the grandparents that it would give them a chance to see the various activities we try to do with him and for them to get involved but it was a no go - he was bummed because he is really into Dolphins and the ocean - we had the concert tickets bought before we started Hatterdays so we can't change anything :-( and we may aim for the last one in May - the only downside is that DS is not really into learning about plants so the topic wasn't very interesting to him...so I am not 100% sure if we will go or not. We are trying to figure out if we want to try their summer camp or not
