Birthday Idea for a Mom

[Spixie33]

I have been reading this thread and really enjoying the different viewpoints and points raised.

Personally I see nothing wrong with other providers expanding on the thread and taking it in a different direction. Some people stayed on topic and others raised other points. The other points raised were still in relation to the original post and how other providers would handle the situation. Hearing how others would handle a similar situation is the whole beauty of this thread. That is how threads work and there were good and thoughtful points raised.

I had a day a couple of weeks ago where we did some finger-painting and then the next day the parent dropped off his daughter and said " Make me another one of those cute paintings today."

Um.....I am not doing finger-painting or painting two days in a row. That would be repetitive. I just smiled and wished him a good day and didn't do it or give in to the pressure to produce more artwork. It was a nice, mild winter day so we spent extra time outside instead of crafting. The fresh air is much better for them and makes them much happier and I am worried about what makes for a fun/successful day for the kids.
