The big news at the Christmas parade this year was that Olivia got to ride on a float with her girl scout troop. She was sooooo excited to be in the parade. She talked about it nearly non-stop in the week leading up to the event. She really put a lot of thought into her role as "parade participant". One morning I heard her weighing the pros and cons of using her hands to wave versus using her hands to throw candy. After we decided that she could do both, she felt much better.
Those of use who were spectators were treated to a great time. My favorite floats were those that played music and got the crowd to participate in the singing/dancing. The kids loved seeing all of the floats and received lots of candy. Olivia's float appeared toward the end of the parade, and we all shouted her name and waved at her. She waved back, and we could really tell that she was enjoying herself.
