Weekend Watch

On Sunday afternoon, February 26 at 1:30 p.m., I'll be at Aladdin's Lamp children's bookstore in Arlington (2499 N. Harrison St.) for an informal chat with parents about some of the best support resources for parents in the DC area - listservs, facilitated moms' groups, clubs, newsletters, that sort of thing. And of course they'll be selling my book, and I'm happy to sign copies. Come join us!

Also in Arlington this weekend, don't miss the big Tenth Annual Mt. Olivet Preschool KIDSTUFF Sale, Saturday, February 25 from 8:30 a.m. to 12 noon. Thanks to Mt. Olivet mama Liz Hall for giving me the heads-up! Items will include quality, gently-used kids' clothing (sizes newborn to 6x), maternity clothes, baby equipment, toys, videos, and books. The sale is held in the Fellowship Hall of Mt. Olivet United Methodist Church, 1500 N. Glebe Road, Arlington (the intersection of N. Glebe and 16th St.). Admission is FREE, and there's ample free parking at the lot adjacent to the church. For more info, call 703.527.5508. (Coincidentally, Ava and her Daddy have Hola Baby on Saturday mornings at Mt. Olivet, so I'm looking forward to tagging along this week and doing some shopping while they hablan Espanol!)

If you have a toddler who is boat-obsessed, remember there's the Washington Boat Show this Saturday and Sunday at the Washington Convention Center in the District, 12 noon to 9 p.m. each day. Adults are $10, but kids under age five get in free. Little ones can even climb inside some of the boats.

And the recently recommended Cathy & Marcy are doing a Country Music Jamboree, sing-along style, this weekend at the Kennedy Center. Performances are Friday night, Saturday afternoon at 1 and 3:30 p.m., and Sunday afternoon at 1:00. The show runs about an hour. Tix are $15. For info, call the KC at 202.467.4600.
