Last year Brooke went to her first year of Gems Camp...and she loved it...but she was home sick!
This year she was nervous to try again...although I told her the first time is always the hardest!
The night before I held her and read...
"The kissing hand"
I replaced "school" with "camp"!
We all took turns giving each other the kissing hand!
I knew the one on her hand would wash off...so I made her a quick stuffed felt one!
She kept it in her pillow at camp! =)
I filled her bag with "Love Notes"!
It was really fun to drop her off, and let the kids run around!
When we came home, she had covered every window...house and car...and all the mirrors with sweet "Love Notes" to us from her!
She said she wasn't home sick at all...but she loved the kissing hand...and all the girls loved her notes!
She made sure to add...."make sure you do that every year!" ;)

We love The Kissing Hand. The felt is a great idea! I love all of the notes.
I need to look for that book! I love your way of helping her overcome her homesickness, and all the notes from her are great, too!
You are seriously one awesome mama with seriously awesome kiddos.
