Cookie Season!

Girl Scout cookie season has begun!  They do it differently than when I was a little girl.  Back then, you turned in your orders and then you picked up the cookies.  Nowadays, you get the cookies in advance and then sell them.  I think it's a little difficult to know how many boxes you'll sell, but we're just going to wing it.  Mia took the Radio Flyer wagon full of cookies door to door this afternoon.  She did pretty well!  It was good for her to learn how to talk to customers.  In between each house I would remind her to speak up and knock loudly.  She gained confidence as we went.  I tried to turn it into an opportunity to learn how to count money, too.  There was more to it than just selling cookies, and I love that about Girl Scouts.  Our neighbors were so nice, too.  Most of them were happy to support our little Girl Scout!
