Cirque de Russlee

I can't possibly say enough about the staff, parents and students at Russley School. Last week, they put together an amazing original production full of humor, original songs, choreographed dances, and great sets. I don't know if, growing up in America, I ever participated in an original production, especially not one of this caliber. I'm pretty fixed in my belief that America always does things bigger and better, but last week Anna and her peers knocked my socks off... and the principal dressed in a red tutu was a real treat. I also won the PTA raffle, walking away at the end of the night with dinner vouchers and a bottle of wine. It was a wonderful evening that left the community raving for days. Here's a link to some photos. Anna is the fairy dressed in all teal (her favorite color). Well done!!

Parenting Blog recommendation

I stumbled on this blog this morning upon recommendation from a fabulous Mum friend. I think there's a lot of wisdom in the one I link to- All I Know is that I Know Nothing. I love the way that the author, Tracy Cassels, approaches parenting issues from a scientific perspective. A lot of what she says supports my views about attachment parenting. What a great resource for new mothers, doulas, Le Leche League leaders, and people interested in the well being of young children.
