I love that, upon exiting a kindergarten admissions-related Play Date,
Ana yanks the two elastic bands that tightly bind her braids,
throws them at me, and shakes her hair out while running towards the playground.

Los Pininos
We were looking for just the right name to capture the joy and struggle in balancing all the parts of our lives here in New Orleans, with our children, family, work, and selves.
I couldn't help but think of Elliot working on his balance, and Tita (my mom) standing him up, gazing in his eyes, and slowly letting go, screaming "Pinino!" Sometimes he'd stand for a few, others he'd crash down...Whatever the outcome, Elliot's response was half-fear, half-thrill and all smiles.
I'd like to think that's how we face our daily lives.
We are Los Pininos.
To the rescue!

Hey, Good lookin'!
