We were trying to teach Katrina about voting, since our state’s primary was this week.  We took her & her sister with us to our local polling place, after Kat got out of school for the day.  We explained to her how important it is for everyone to go & make their mark by the name of the person they think will be the best person for the job of President.  We gave each of the girls our “I voted” stickers, once we were done.  As we were getting in the car to go home, Katrina perked up & said, “I hope *we* win & get to be President!”  Ha-ha!  The way kids think…  🙂

The next day, she got to go to her Daisy Girl Scout meeting.  It was her turn to bring the snack that night (she picked frosted animal crackers) & her Mommy got to be the “parent volunteer” for the evening, too.  They started out by reciting the “Girl Scout Promise” (with help) & singing a song about Daisy Girl Scouts, which Kat had memorized one line of & especially sang that part out, well.  The girls got their uniforms – blue tunics, complete with nametags they had made & an American flag patch, to start out with…  Then, they got to make puppets & have a puppet show, demonstrating some of the qualities of Girl Scouts.  The qualities she showed were “friendly & helpful”.  She enjoyed the meeting & was pleased to be able to bring home her tunic & puppet, as well!
