It’s always very interesting to watch children watching over something though it were pets, movie or circus or they are enjoying the happiest place on Earth – Disneyland, never mind what and where exactly kids are but they express their emotions so selflessly:-) Well. here is street circus and kids I made photos last Sanday:
Divorce is not easy and always life changed decision, especially for children it’s one of the hardest of life experiences. And when it happens… It happens? Then parents which are going to or those who are through the process of divorce already have try all their best to protect their kids from the shock of that life changes. And here, financial aspect of this problem is also very important and no doubt must be carefully considered because the quality of your life and the lives of your children is the primary term that does not have to be suffered by divorce.
Many organizations including high comprehensive online services offer different help of how to move from the situation feeling helpless to situation of taking control over your problem – from American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) and National Women’s Law Center to many independent legal advice and marriage records websites.
Anyway you are not alone and unfortunately you are not first and last one on the way. But just remember that any difficult problem meets practical solutions. You can get help and support to take of yourself and meet your kid’s needs. The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers. Life is a wonderful mystery to be lived.

Tiny genius?
Aelita’s mother Nikka Kalashnikova and her husband, Michael Andre, did not set out to mislead the gallery. They simply wanted Aelita’s work to be judged on its merits. “Of course, every mother is proud of their child. I didn’t tell him (Jamieson) because I had all these feelings going through my head — fear, embarrassment.”
Kalashnikova says Aelita began painting shortly before she could walk. Both parents are artists and Aelita was used to seeing them work on canvases on the floor.
Kalashnikova at first dismissed Aelita’s painting as “just mucking around” but by August last year she’d seen enough potential that she provided her with a canvas painted red (by her mother) and let her get to work. The image that resulted is among those on display in the exhibition, which has been opened on January 16 in Melburn.
