Are We Leaving Yet?
One of Raindrop’s favorite adventures is to go to Grandma and Grandpa’s house. She loves my folks - especially my dad!
Today, I had to fly out to Minneapolis and James had some big meetings coming up. To help out, my mom had suggested she and Dad babysit Raindrop for a day or two.
We took Mom up on the offer.
This morning, I got up early to finish up some work on my computer. Somehow, Raindrop knew she was going on a trip with us.
I ignored Raindrop’s vocal complaints that I was too slow.
Raindrop took the matters to the next level and tried to knock my computer out of my lap - it was time to go! (You see her peering at me trying to urge me to type faster.)
About ten minutes before I was ready to leave for the airport, James packed Raindrop’s special travel bag - it’s a pretty red metallic gift bag filled with the food she would need while at my parent’s house.
Upon seeing her bag, Raindrop was 100% convinced she knew where she was going - and could not wait to leave!
She kept running back to where I was packing to urge me to go faster.
Finally we left. Raindrop was so focused about getting to Grandpa’s she didn’t bother to bark at a dog we drove past. Very unusual for her!
James and I laughed about Raindrop’s crazy antics and eagerness to see my parents.
Made me think about being a leader… Are there people in your chapter extremely excited about something you now take for granted? Perhaps speaking in front of all your members - or attending the big chapter event?
How do you support your members when they get as excited (and odd acting) as Raindrop did today?
