Questions/Comments/Concerns : I had a really great interaction with some kids on Monday night.  There was a large group of kids that were being "watched" by 2 older siblings.  The 3 younger ones were getting quite restless, so I encouraged them to have a puppet show.  They played with the puppets for a good 10 minutes while I sat on the other side interacting with them.  (Another two-year-old even joined in the fun!)  I got the feeling that it wasn't something they often did, and I was really grateful to have the leeway to be able to do this with our customers (and that it's encouraged!).
