Stefan: So, Colin, does it feel any different now that you’re five years old?
Colin: Yeah.
Stefan: Oh!
Colin: You know, when you get older, you have less cartilage.
Stefan: Ah. So do you feel like you have less cartilage now?
Colin: Yeah.

Today the kids made tshirt prints at a printing company in San Luis Obispo, J. Carroll. The owner was so incredibly lovely with the children and really knew how to give a group of kids a tour (and impress the parents). They came away with their own Field Trip class tshirt! Oh, and did I mention it’s Colin’s birthday?   These photos were taken without a lot of light but I just had to document this fashion statement:  She even has makeup on to look like dirt.  Gorgeous, sweet cat – 10 years old – just arrived at Woods. Gianna has her eye on Miley.  I’ll give an example of how brilliantly unschooling works – a model of education that allows children to follow their bliss rather than following the person in front of them when the bell rings. Gianna is introduced to Harry Potter books. Reads the first one, the second, the third. Before we know it, she’s read the series and is starting it all over again. She becomes interested in chess, since that game plays a role in the first book. She learns about Harry Potter trivia games on the web and enjoys answering the questions. She watches the movies over and over and over again. She listens to the books on CD over and over and over again. Eight months after first reading the books, she hears her dad play the Harry Potter theme song on piano. Learns it in five minutes. Plays it whenever she passes by the piano.  According to this story reported by John Robbins, Julia Child visited a veal farm with him back in the day and swore off the meat. Robbins was struck by her response in the factory, how saddened she was. He concludes, speaking about all meat and dairy factories: “The industry knows that if people saw how it was done, they would shut it down.” I had assumptions about running before I started. My comparison of pre-running and now: Pre-Running: Now: Pre-Running: Now: Pre-Running: Now: Pre-Running: Now: Pre-Running: Now: I just want to say that when I was 14, my dad was doing some tree work for Michael Douglas and he hired me for a night to babysit his son, who was about 3 at the time. The only thing I remember about the evening was the fact that when Michael came home, he was greeting his son and referred to me as a “lovely young woman.” I just about peed my pants. Anyway, now this very cute little 3 year old is a heroin addict, and his attorneys blame his dad for his problem. I hope none of this has anything to do with that night I spent babysitting him. After all, I can’t remember a thing. Here’s a photo of Gianna and our friend Mac heading out to their ballet rehearsal… in their huaraches. So incredible!  Colin putting on his new huaraches in preparation for racing his friends. He calls them his “fast shoes.”  You can buy a kit to make your own or buy a pair at Invisible Shoe! |
