All of those germs have kept us home for most of the time. My oldest got cabin fever, as she usually does in times like that, but we managed. She did get to go to her Girl Scout meeting, and she learned how to make a necklace! I don't have any great pics as most of them have other girls in them, and therefore, I can't post them. But here is a couple of her necklace:
We had rushed to the bead store minutes before the meeting was supposed to start. To save gas, I had saved that trip for on the way, but didn't expect construction on the exit I was supposed to take. Of course! Anyhow, she picked out the stars and the black beads to make her necklace. The purple and the blue were provided by the troop leaders. She really loved making it, and she's interested in making more. I'm hoping once we have some extra spending money we can make another trip up to the bead store.
I love how her necklace is so her. It was so different from all the other girls' necklaces. Her personality just shines through it, and that makes me so happy. Knowing that she is so comfortable and accepting of who she is, and can freely express it... well, it's one of the best feelings I've experienced as her mom.
