Bobcat Teeth and Random News

Merritt was awarded his Bobcat badge last night. He earned it a month ago, but was sick on the night of pack meeting and so missed the awards ceremony. It's all good, though, this month is as good as last...especially since he got bobcat teeth. His den leader presented him with the teeth...

which he then used to grab his badge out of my hand. It was supposed to demonstrate the perserverance he had shown in getting his badge, and the determination he would need to finish his Wolf badge requirements, but I don't think he got that out of the ceremony....he was just excited to have Bobcat/vampire teeth to wear all night long. Now he wants to be a vampire for Halloween...sigh!
I really didn't know much about the scouting program before I was called to serve in the Webelos den three years ago, and I am so grateful to have had this calling as it has prepared me to be excited for Merritt to start Scouts, and to help him properly. It really is a neat program!

In other news, I was at the doctor today and she said at the end of our visit, "I'll see you in two weeks." Huh? Are we really to that point? Hooray! Of course my next visit includes the dreaded glucose test, but not for nothing have I given up sugar! I shall pass with flying colors!!
