Gotta mention that the second tee pee reminds me of the "magic cave" they made at the end of Lars von Trier's Melancholia... I am assuming that there is no intentional reference.... right? Recently saw the movie and though I think I enjoyed it (in hindsight), felt a little unnerved afterwards.

Miss 11 has just come home from a slumber party and lets just say that the conversation that went on last night was not the kind of bedtime conversation that I am ready for my 11 year old to be partaking in. The good part about it though is that she realises it was not "nice" conversation and she has come home and sat down and told me. Perhaps we are doing something right?<br /><br />I'm going outside to build her a tee-pee.<br /><br />XXJohttp://www.violetandroseblog.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-27900407412354603302012-01-13T15:14:59.309+11:002012-01-13T15:14:59.309+11:00I love the sentiment in this post.

My kids are 7 and 4 and the tussle for independence hasn't started yet but I am determined that my children will miss that horrible concept of "tweens" and go from childhood to adolescence in a way that is unhurried and respectful of a time that can NEVER be taken back once it has passed. <br /><br />Reading your blog I think you have a great recipe for achieving it Kate - great work!<br />Carolcarol : @perennialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06277907783145360030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-51554335167799362152012-01-13T13:16:01.013+11:002012-01-13T13:16:01.013+11:00Keep childhood sweet and for as long as poss, pre...Keep childhood sweet and for as long as poss, pre-teen girls in particular are so susceptible, the advertisers are hyenas baiting their prey, it's up to us parents/mums.

Also I think this comment/reply thing is a lovely way to get to "know" people. I reckon I might be more "me" in the comments.
