Thanks, Dana! It’s a cold day here in Boulder and Matthew is a little under the weather. This may be a great little pick-me-up! Off to get some cream of tartar!
XOXO,
Allison =)

You hit it right on the head! I am heading to a Moms Briefing and VIP reception today and I think I am more excited to stay in a hotel room alone than I am to attend the briefing.

Best product on the market to teach your kid how to ride a bike! Seriously! Why the heck would anyone consider using those archaic training wheels after seeing this amazing technology. It’s like the difference between a cassette player and an I-Pod. HELLO! Wake up people and join the 21st century! Gyrobike ROCKS!

Comment on Bullying Prevention Starts With Teaching Tolerance by Trishasmith

Although many children are bullied in schools today, most parents are unaware that this is happening to their kids and that it is a problem that needs to be remedied. Communication is something that needs to be established between kids, school officials, and their parents, in order for bullying to be properly addressed.

Comment on Quitting: When Is It Okay? by Beth Barbara

As always a great post! I definitely recommend a trial-even if you have to pay for it. My daughter was taking ballet and gymnastics. One day we were at a playdate with her friend who had to leave for an acting class. Julia said she wanted to go as well. I was a little doubtful but asked the place if we could try out the class. It was 45 dollars-although at the end of the class if we signed up the 45 dollars would be added to the cost of the term. She loved it-the teacher said she did great and I signed her up. While there was a risk I was going to be out 45 dollars because she would hate it, I’d ratheer be out 45 dollars than 650 dollars which was the cost of the class.

5.5 hours is a long time for your child to be in tears. I’d recommend checking in with the teacher to find out whether the tears are on and off or consistent. Together, you and the teachers, can make a plan to help support you and your child through this transition! Be well-Dana

How timely!
My little one was running into school, then week number three, Monday, tears at good bye. I know to keep strong and continue on but it’s hard to leave them for 5.5 hours in tears.
Hopefully it’s “just a stage” like everything else seems to be!
Thank you Dana
