My Little Sister

I have signed up with the Big Sisters Big Brother Program, and today I am meeting my Little Sister. She is 6 years old and she lives with her grandparents.

I plan to take her to the park and have a mini- picnic and then we are going to fly a kite, and for a plan B in the event that the kite doesn't work. We are going to play with water balloons.. Not a fight mind you, my brother advised against that. We are going to simply toss them into the air.

Hope that you had fun!

I always wanted to sign up for that, but never knew how. I love making a differance in children's lives. But now, I am too busy, so I hope that one day I can help out like that.

So we went out on Tuesday. Planned a mini picnic and then flying a kite in the park. They encourage you to do free or low cost activities ....

So we finish our little picnic and try to fly the kite, we get it up in the air on the third try and then she ran into some trees and we were never able to get it back off the ground.

So we went to plan B which were water balloons. I had 6 for each of us, and I had put them in the freezer. I told her we were going to toss them up and see what happens. Well two balloons into it, she said 'I am going to throw them at you.' Before I had a chance to react, boom she had hit me, but due to freezing them before hand, it did not pop right away. But at that point it was an all out balloon fight.

She then played on the swings and I took her home. At the end I gave her a Certificate for being enthusiastic.

Tomorrow I am planning a full day for us. We are going to go to an outdoor craft fair, I need to get my tires rotated, pick up a cake at the bakery and then there is an indoor fireworks laser show at this mega church in town.

I did have the opportunity to go out with my Little sister this past Saturday, she is a handful. She came to the car with a bag of skittles, and let me tell you she didn't sit still once while we were at the indoor fireworks thing. It was at this super huge church...It had stadium seating, and there was singing, dancing, and at the very end fireworks. But before that, she had to have cotton candy, popcorn and a drink, and I thought it was free, but it was a $1 each. Then we found seats, and from where we were seated it was obvious that when the balloons dropped, they would not drop on our seats.

She had to go to the bathroom THREE times while we were there, and I took her once before we sat down. So I assumed she was just joking. So I said, "well we might loose our seats, and then we will miss the fireworks" So she jumped up and told the man next to us "I gotta pee can you watch our seats." Then on the third trip to the bathroom, there was a line, well she made such a spectical of herself, that the lady said if she really has to go she can go on. Before I could say anything, she started this big dance and starting singing.. "I gotta pee.. I gotta pee pee pee." She is a little mess.

And when the balloons dropped she ran around like she was crazy. I had her by the hand but in her quest to get balloons she was bumping other little kids out the way. She ended up with 5 balloons, and they were not the helium kind either.

Then on the way to her house, I got pulled over by the police... She was in the backseat going "I aint never been with anybody pulled over by the police." Then when the officer came to my window asking if I knew why he pulled me over. I said No sir... She starting yelling from the backseat. "I'm in my booster seat... I'm in my booster seat." This is because the first day I told her it was the law that she ride in one. Turns out I had a burned our brake light.

She is funny... I think she had a good time at the fireworks celebration.

And maybe the time spent with you she'll learn to calm down a bit. Perhaps she was overly excited that someone though she was special enough to spend time with her. Once she gets used to the idea that you'll be there, bet you see a difference. Kids in Foster Care tend to think that that they're throw away kids and nobody cares. Obviously, you do. You'll both benefit from this relationship. Good for you.
