I want to go to this but that's the only time on Tuesdays I get to spend with my toddler. I'm guessing people wouldn't be very happy if I brought him with me.

Very interesting stuff! I will try to promote this event, seeing as it is highly relevant to our group as well.

Hmmm, maybe we'll try. I haven't taken him into a lecture/discussion situation in a while. The difficulty is less with him staying quiet and more with him running all over the place. Toddlers are busy little people!
