One of the perks that I get for writing so many college recommendations is cool gifts. Unbenownst to me, the parents of a student I teach own Panda Pavilion in Greenwich. So at holiday time, I got quite a generous gift certificate for the restaurant. On Friday night, we had plans in Stamford, so we decided to cash in on our free dinner. When we entered the restaurant it was all adults and they didn't look happy to see us with two toddlers in tow. But, the twins were quiet and great, and one couple even came up and commented on how well behaved they were....(insert proud parent smile here) Sad to say it, they use chop sticks much better than I do.
Our plans in Stamford involved seeing the play "The Tortoise and the Hare" It was being put on by NCTC(Northeast Children's Theater Company), a theater group founded by a former graduate from the school I teach at. He was quite the actor at our school and now after college has founded this group that specializes in creating theatre pieces aimed at children audiences (he doesn't act in these plays though). The theater was at Sterling Farms Golf Course in Stamford..never knew they had a theater there. The play was amazing and it was so refreshing to see a former student pursuing their passion, and doing it so well.
