Fannys American Adventure
Sign-in day and it's a very slow start. I have two lovely girls - Kaiya (tiny girl who loves cuddles when she is chilled enough to keep still) and Sharyn (seeks me out to make funny noises at each other), one dependant, independant. The other girls are Natasha(classic american drool), Bernie(never stops laughing but when she does its becauise I've told her off and she's crying), Gabi (can move her buggy from one end of the dorm to the other - whilst strapped in), Tyler Marie (has a sign for everyone she has ever ment and rarely gets to sleep cos she's so nosey), Lauren (attitude on legs) and Justine (it's the quiet ones you have to watch). All look like angels but a couple gave us hell!
The week starts well and all the kids behave (most of the time). The girls all seem to like us and do almost all that we ask. As I am writing this from the start of session 2, here are a few pointers of what went on... 1. the fire alarm going off at 3am when tyler has been asleep. everythings ok so we went back in and she goes back to sleep. the alarm then goes off again 15minutes later and she doesn't sleep again for that night. 2. discovering after the whole week has gone by, that Justine is the chattiest kid in town and not the almost mute we all thought her to be 3. Julie getting a mini electric shock for the plug sockets 4. getting stranded out on the lake then abandening ship leaving the kids behind! 5. going on the lake with tyler and two cousellors - ruth and lousie - and making up songs for her that she screamed to. 6. lying in while the kids get themselves up! giving instuctions from the tops of our bunks whilst we were still in our pjs 7. realising that i have made great friends here after getting a pep talk from Blair on how to deal with Laurens rude and very irritating attitude, Jazz's feedback that i could do no wrong and jumping and dancing together to congratulate ourselves once the kids had gone bring on the next week but lets have a mad intersession first :~)- comments
