Secrets of Circles, Rocks and Waters.

It's not often that I get to spend a day together with both of my kids. One that is not interrupted by hockey practice, ballet, or work at the salon. So, today I jumped at the chance to spend time with the kids and took them to the Brooklyn Children's Museum. We planned ahead and arrived before the other locals. (I love Brooklyn in the morning!) And most of our time was spent exploring the visiting exhibit, Secrets of Circles. It might seem a tad unimpressive at first, but upon a closer look we discovered a number of irresistible and interactive activities that kept our attention.

And, thanks to our friend Dani, our eyes were opened to mathematical, left-brain thinking and we were made aware, not only of how rocks are formed, but also how to arrange them to calm the rushing waters. Hmm...how is it I've made it this far in life not knowing how to calm the waters by such a simple approach? I mean, I know how to shut off the water supply, but subtle calming? Perhaps this idea is something I could further explore in my own personal waters. . . I'm still thinking. I'll drift along for now, and reflect on my wonderful day of learning and exploration.

The sign reads, "one person at a time". No problem, I wasn't going to get in anyway.

O in a round boat from Thailand, I believe.

Pasha doesn't remember this tunnel, but he was here before in his pre-school years.

Arrojo education To-Go!

Slope Suds and Arrojo

At the Arrojo check-out a few weeks ago:

Me: "Yes, I'll take one Arrojo hair-cutting class...to go please, with a G-bob and layered bob on the side. Thanks!"

Them: "Would you like regular or super size?"

Me: "Well, if it's Arrojo, any size will do!"

Them: "What salon are you calling from?"

Me: "Slope Suds Salon... you know, the Arrojo Ambassador Salon in Brooklyn?"

Them: "hold please..."

...pause...

Them: "...thank you for holding, ma'am. Mrs. Mironov? I understand that there has been a special arrangement. Nick wants us to send over one of the best educators available. Ma'am...ma'am...are you there?"...

...fast forward a few weeks...to today, 9/26/11.

The first. ever. ARROJO hair-cutting class at Slope Suds was AMAZING! Our team loved Carmel, the fiesty, Irish stylist/educator from Arrojo with a heart of gold. (Oh, yes I did.)

Our stylists all learned something new today and we are proud to be the ONLY salon in Brooklyn with such excellent, advanced education. That's Arrojo education TO-GO! 

THANK YOU NICK and CARMEL!

...a few shots to remember.
