Sorry Kid, You Didn’t Make the Cut, and THAT’S OK!
As parents, most of us will face a time when one of our children doesn’t make the team. My kids aren’t involved in competitive sports. For now, and maybe indefinitely they’re house league kids. My daughter however has been involved in a great community theater production for the past few years. Arbour Theatre produces incredible
