David and I took the kids to OMSI today. It was a lot of fun. OMSI was doing a two day Lego fair. Where you could build a boat and see how many marbles it would hold. Avion and I made a small boat that held 29 marbles. He was very excited. The little boy who was in front of us in line had built a big boat that was about a foot and half long and 6 inches wide. Avion started talking to the kid. The boy looked to be about Avion’s age and they hit it off really well. Their conversation started off with Avion saying “Wow your boat is big!” Then they talked about legos and Avion showed the boy his boat. After the legos, we went and saw other things and had lunch. After lunch we headed to the 5 and under room for Sassi and Zidan. Avion normally doesn’t like that room but he got interested in the water play area. He was the only child playing at the water table. It was great. But as always good things don’t last and some boys went to the water area and decided to play at the table where Avion was at. Well Avion did not handling the other boys being there and you could hear his voice raising. I sent David to help him since I was with one of the younger kids. When David went to intervene, one of the boys was teasing Avion. David got Avion away for the table where he burst into tears. David got Avion to calm down and then after that we went home. We didn’t go home because of Avion’s behavior; we went home because we had been at OMSI for over 4 hours.
