Toddler Tuesday at Oatland Island and Important Life Lessons

This month Oatland Island started a new program called Toddler Tuesdays so we went today and checked it out. Today's theme was Gardening so the toddlers listened to a story about a garden and then got to pet a corn snake.

They also had a craft time where the kids got to finger paint. They were "supposed" make pictures of flowers with their hand prints but Lucas liked the feeling of smearing his hands in the cool wet paint so he just painted his picture red and orange smears.

After craft time we headed over to see the farm animals and Lucas would run from pen to pen according to which animal was mooing, gobbling, or baaing at the time.

We didn't stay too long because Lucas was getting hungry and we didn't bring our lunch with us. Before we headed home though we did go see the Eagles. Since the last time we were at Oatland they added a giant nest. Lucas liked pretending to be a bird.

Right before we left a little girl and her mom were walking towards us. The little girl was about Lucas' age or maybe a little older. I heard her ask her mom if she could pick up Lucas and her Mom told her that Lucas was too big. The little girl walked up to Lucas and puckered her lips and Lucas leaned over and gave her a smooch right on her mouth. The little girl then quickly gave Lucas two lip kisses back before the other mother and I even had time to react. We both quickly assured each other that our kids were both currently cold free.

The mom and daughter kept walking and the daughter kept trying to kiss every kid she passed along the way. When they were gone I told Lucas "In a few years you won't be able to just go up and kiss strange girls like that, because of a little thing called sexual harassment.
