I had a great idea. I thought it would be fun for Cameron and her friends to make Fairy Houses at her birthday party. We found tiny flower pots, turned them upside down and painted and decorated them with a door, some ribbon and some flowers. Then they were supposed to take their fairy houses home, put them somewhere close to a garden or flowers, and see if they could catch a fairy. We even talked about the fact that fairies are small and shy. So they are very DIFFICULT to actually catch.
Cameron of course, took hers out to the garden, and proceeded to check her house hourly. She was clearly getting frustrated with this whole fairy operation. She then went and added some glitter and cleared a trail so the fairy could find it. Still nothing.
Then the most frustrating thing happened. The neighbor girl got a fairy note in her house across the street. So we checked for a few more days and nothing. Finally, I was starting to feel bad about the whole situation, and Cameron finally found a fairy note in her house. The note explained that this particular fairy was small and very shy (already explained) and that she would probably not see her because she was afraid of Sammy, and so on, but she LOVED her house. I thought this would be the end of the fairy quest. But, Cameron being Cameron, is now more determined than ever to show this fairy whose boss.
Rosebud Sparkle Fairy, I'd watch out, because if you're out there, you're going to get caught. Cameron is determined she will coax her out of her shyness and has not given up yet...and her birthday was a month ago. I would have never guessed that this would continue this long.
