Guest Blogger Laurie Zuckerman--You know how the fantasy of special time spent with your kids often doesn’t match the reality? There’s the hike through the woods that ends with a sobbing child in your arms. The ballet that your kid sleeps though. The drive home from the zoo with the screaming children in the back.There is one fantasy, however, that beats out my expectations every time. That is the time I spend out in my vegetable garden with my daughter Yana. It just gets better every year. At age three, she munched on lettuce (rinsed off with the hose) while making mud pies.

Zuckerman Barnyard Countdown
2007-06-07 19:48:00 FOUR DAYS, PEOPLE. The big show is on Monday. Up until this week, the kids were practicing in their classroom, but now they have been on The Big Stage twice and parent-produced props are arriving by the carload.

Diva Desensitization Training begins on Tuesday.
