Exciting News from the Proud Mom: my son Will and his hand-to-hand/Chinese pole partner Heloise WON A GOLD MEDAL at the Festival du Cirque de Demain (Circus of Tomorrow) in Paris. This is a huge honor. They competed against 23 other circus acts from all over the world (who were chosen to be in the competition from a pool of more than 1000 applicants).
WOW!

WOW!
IS!
CORRECT!
I'm so proud of you and your boy.

WOW! Say's so much about both of you. You did an amazing job with Will Jane. Even I sometimes brag about Will,though unlike yourself, I have no bragging rights. I bow to your mothering.....affectionately, Jaybird.

Having been fortunate to see Will and Eloise perform when they were in D.C. a couple of years ago, I am thrilled that they have been recognized with a gold medal! Very deserving, and I'm glad the presenters thought so, too! They truly are amazing performers. :-)
