You ever watch a show where the actors seem bored? Or like they could care less about who is watching - I could just walk out... and have done so. These ladies were not like that at all :) the show was so much better than its content, simply because of the performers. <br /><br />Lilu - a big benefit of not being a dedicated sports fan means I do not have to be loyal... I can support who ever pleases me whenever they please me. No commitment ;) <br /><br />Expat Mom... Anonymous should be laughed at. I mean seriously, as if we can't tell this was meant as a back-handed insult... I can see making the mistake in person. It happens all the time and Brian, very politely, makes corrections. The language use of Anonymous indicates that he/she can read quite well enough to know better. What does he think our response should be? "Oh my goodness! Some anonymous person on the internet doesn't like my kid's hair! Oh the horror! Oh the shame! Oh my! I should immediately go out and change myself and my whole family to please Anonymous!" pffft! ;-D !!! puh-leeze! Some people simply never mature enough to quit basing their perceptions of others on their appearance. As for Dorian having long hair (and with those gorgeous eyes!) I say go for it - if he wants it. I think that letting kids have choices about themselves, their appearance, etc. as early as possible, is the best way for them to learn to be responsible... I mean, should we wait for them to be teens? Rebel? Be so unsure that they give in to peer pressure? Break away and do everything they've always wanted with no control, no practical conversations with mom or dad, or practice? Start now. That, and the chance to learn how to totally blow off negative people without a second thought, those who think it's ok to make snide judgmental comments about kids to their face or behind their back, yea, that's a very handy life-skill...Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667481504650498976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304534455173718249.post-83958463955855897172009-04-22T15:21:00.000+02:002009-04-22T15:21:00.000+02:00What a great day!

It does look like fun and it`s so cool that the kids say their country of birth . . . totally makes sense when you have lived in several different countries!<br /><br />I have to laugh at Anonymous . . . how many times does the same person have to ask if Brian is a girl? He`s OBVIOUSLY a boy, lol. I expect people will soon start asking about Dorian, too, with his long hair. ;)Expat Momhttp://expatmom.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304534455173718249.post-70348225822678439252009-04-22T12:55:00.000+02:002009-04-22T12:55:00.000+02:00While I despise the Colts, I AM glad your munchkin...While I despise the Colts, I AM glad your munchkins had a blast.<br /><br />:-)rachaelgkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18002691394373545956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304534455173718249.post-5303318882696062802009-04-22T08:31:00.000+02:002009-04-22T08:31:00.000+02:00Hello, I am smitten by these lovely ladies.
