Sooooooo brave...

I was a nervous wreck... not that I let my darling girl see that, as she was sooooooooooo looking forward to her first ever Rainbows sleepover last weekend.
So there we ALL were, Lee and the boys too at Guideacres in Benfleet dropping my little lady off to spend the day and night with her friends...
My best friend's daughter Niamh has just gone up from Rainbows into Brownies, and Niamh had promised me that she would take good care of Cassandra..
I don't recall being as worried about the boys when they went on their first sleepovers, maybe it was 'cos they were boys, or that they were 6½ not just 5 years old when they went.  But I now have a new found understanding of the concerns of Beaver Scout mums - as, as a leader, I get to take their precious children away for a night... 
Cassandra was apparently inseparable from her new bud Alesha...
Granny Owl had assured me (after a late text on Saturday night - I just couldn't hold out any longer) that she was fine, probably doing better than I was and she was just about to have some hot chocolate!
After flag down on Sunday morning I was very grateful for a big hug!

 I'm glad she had a great time, but also glad she's home :)
