Question 5: What do you do to celebrate birthdays and
holidays? Do you give a gift?
BB – Erick:
I bring cards, gifts and candy for birthdays and holidays.
BS – Jen:
My Little Sister’s birthday is a couple days before Christmas so I
usually get her a couple of smaller items such as lotion from Bath and Body
Works, a $5 gift card to Starbucks, or maybe some fun socks or something like
that. I gave her an ornament as well
that reminded her of our time together.
BS – Mary:
We have not experienced the holidays together yet, but my Little had her
birthday a few weeks after our match meeting.
Since we had just met a few weeks ago, I thought it would be best to
send a nice card in the mail wishing her a happy birthday. Next year, I may do something more but felt
that was the most appropriate at the time.
For the holidays, I might get together and do something more special,
such as Pursuing Picasso or Bead Happy.
My Little has been asking to do pottery so the holidays might be more
fitting to do this type of activity together.
As far as gift giving, I know my Little likes to shop so I might give
her a gift card to her favorite store and we could go shopping together so she
can use the card or buy her a new book since she has expressed an interest in
reading.
Question 6: What is the biggest improvement you have seen
with your Little?
BB – Erick:
Improved skills in all areas of school – reading, writing, math, etc
BS – Mary:
With the new school year, I have seen a change in my Little’s feelings
toward school and friendships. Last year
she had troubles with a few classmates and now moving into middle school she
has already made new friendships and has a more positive outlook on
school. I was hesitant with how middle
school would be for her, but am happy to hear her response every time when I
ask her about school and classmates. I
plan to continue to talk to her about school and help boost her self-confidence
by encouraging her to follow her interests and give her more of a voice.
