Daisy Vest Is Here!!!

Erin has been waiting for her Daisy uniform since the day she began Girl Scouts.  Her troupe leader ordered them over the holidays, but they took a while to come in.  We were told at the last meeting that the uniforms had finally arrived and Ms. Sandy (the troupe leader) would be bringing them by everyone's house.

She made arrangements to come by last Thursday evening.  Naturally, she came over while I was baking chocolate cake for chocolate day at school and making dinner.  Erin got her vest and patches from Ms. Sandy and insisted that they had to be put on immediately!!!  Erin and I figured out how to iron on the badges and troupe information in record time.  The big Daisy was ready to model her her vest complete with her patches!  Check her out!! :)

Best Daisy EVER

Erin has been enjoying her Daisy meetings.  Last meeting came the part that she has been waiting for since she joined the Daises: Girl Scout Cookie Sales!  She was so excited when the cookie Mom brought out the sales sheets and told her troupe they were going to begin selling cookies.  The entire way home, she planned which houses she wanted to visit and wanted to know if she could begin "as soon as we got home".  Erin went to the houses she had planned to visit and made 3 successful sales.  She was overjoyed!

This week Erin's troupe learned about sharing and how it makes you feel.  She listened intently to the story and was happy to participate during the sharing time.  They made friendship bracelets during their craft time.  During closing circle, all the bracelets were placed in a bag.  Each girl picked one from the brown bag .  She enjoys socializing with the girls in her troupe and learning a new lesson each time we meet.  Erin is an AWESOME Daisy! :)

Bus Stop Happy Dance

Erin likes to get to the bus stop first every morning.  Erin and Randy leave the house every morning and walk to the bus stop.  They enjoy this very special routine every day.  They talk and share the things that they have to look forward to for that day. 
Erin greets her friends when they come to the bus stop and they play while they wait for the bus.  They run around the circle, race and do all kinds of fun things.  All the while, they keep an eagle eye look out for the bus.  When a child spots the much awaited bus, they yell "BUS".  Every child seems to magically appear from everywhere and form a neat line to climb onto the bus.
