At a La Leche League meeting a while back a leader was delegated to

look after DS1 so I could participate. She said that he was lovely

(which he is, but I think she must have been relying on memory that

day!) but she was so glad he wasn't hers.

It does seem a bit 'in at the deep end' to choose story time for the

young ones to join in with, so perhaps, depending on the school, best

not to judge how he might cope overall on his behaviour with this

(especially since story time often comes at the end of a session for

the actual children attending, so they've had time to 'get with the

programme') I was a bit concerned about DS1 who had got less able to

settle in the months before he started playgroup and I think both

groups found him a bit challenging initially but my impression is

that things are fine now (He is probably always going to be a bit

unbiddable in certain very specific ways where he takes after DH)
