I promise that I will do my best…
Well, just for a short while I had a lovely shiny new promise badge, presented to me after renewing my Guiding Promise in front of all the girls which makes me pretty much a "real" Guider now rather than a trainee (just got one bit to do, which is the combined Rainbow and Brownie bash in June)
Then I went home and instead of doing waht I usually do and taking the uniform off right away, I decided first to deal with ice for Aprilias’ very sore finger, then tea for very sad Aprilia, then cuddles and Calpol when tea didn’t cheer her up and ice didn’t stop her finger hurting. Then, because she kept fussing I got serious and taped it to it’s neighbour so it was supported which worked wonders (not that I think it needed it but if it makes her feel better….) Then I realised I no longer had my shiny new Promise badge pinned to my shirt. And now I have no idea where it is.
Learning has been mainly craft based today as she is going all out for her Brownie craft bdge. She has done a friendship bracelet on a braiding wheel, decorated a teeshirt and had a hot glue, fabric and sticker fest to decorate a wooden box. I’ve yet to decide if the box counts as a textured collage, a decorative item made from wood or "another craft of your choice" but she had hours of fun making it! Whilst she was busy we chatted about all sorts of stuff, real deap and meaningful one minute and innane the next. Lemony Snicket provided "vocabulary development" at bedtime.
Typically, since joining the structured HE blogring all structure has evapourated! Do I care? nah, it will drift back again soon enough!
