A Swingin' New Year: Time to Sign Up for Acrosports
December 26, 2008
You'd think I'd wait a little longer past the holidays to start obsessing over my 3-year old's schedule for 2009, wouldn't you? Well, you'd be wrong. First on my list was to sign up for Acrosports , the movement and coordination class for kids as young as 18 months. It's held in an enormous gym over by Kezar Stadium, just at the east end of Golden Gate Park. Fern learned to jump there -- Read more...
Tea and Stories: Two Intriguing Holiday Events for Kids
December 09, 2008
Sorting through the dozens of holiday events coming up, two stand out to me as particularly interesting. First, the Mark Hopkins has a special children's holiday tea that sounds a treat, if a bit pricey. I've always liked to take my 2-year old Fern to tea, although Cafe Flore is more our usual speed -- the idea of getting all gussied up in our holiday best? Well, we'll just see. The Read more...
"Palersize" -- Just Tell the Kids It's Ballet
December 05, 2008
Graham was kind enough to let me back in the Savvy door for a few days, even though I'm pretty sure he's going to just keep the money to fuel his Plan Toys addiction, but still, it's worth it. I have something really fun to share. A dance studio recently opened in Upper Noe Valley and we saw that they are starting drop-in "Pal-ersize" sessions every Wednesday from 9 to 9:40 a.m. for kids age 1 Read more...
The Dance-Along Nutcracker
December 03, 2008
Classical ballet -- even accessible shows like The Nutcracker -- makes me a little edgy. Which is why we were so excited last year to discover the "Dance-Along Nutcracker" down at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. It's presented annually by the San Francisco Lesbian/Gay Freedom Band; this year's show is next weekend, the 13th and 14th. The show is exactly what it's billed to be, a Read more...

Saturday is for Sou Boereg: The Armenian Festival is Here!
September 17, 2008
Last year, my wife, daughter, and I stumbled upon the 50th Anniversary of the Armenian Food Festival , held at St. Gregory's down on Brotherhood Way, and we plan to go for the next 50 years at least. The event had everything a cultural gathering should: an old guy wearing World War II ribbons expounding on how Armenia founded world culture, his wife pointing out the Armenian features of Read more...
Little Broadway: "Hairspray" choreography
July 07, 2008
My 2-year-old is still a little young for this, I think, because even the simplest moves seem to trip her up, but older kids will surely be able to master most of these moves -- but no matter how it goes, this may be the most exciting 5 minutes you'll have all day. I tried to find a good video from the movie but unfortunately only came up with this: a YouTube clip of the closing song, "You can't Read more...
