A special Girl Scout meeting!

This month, our Daisy Girl Scout troop was working on earning their Purple Petal, which represents the ability to "Respect Myself and Others." As a part of respecting ourselves, we learned how to care for our bodies, and invited a special guest to come speak to us. Nearly every girl in our troop sees the same local pediatric dentist, Dr. Brandon, and so he agreed to give us some of his Saturday time to show the girls the importance of brushing, flossing, and eating right.

He even brought his family, and his 3 year old, Duncan, got to join the girls! :)

Camryn, Emma, and Mara are "the bottom teeth"

After eating, they have "chicken," (a rubber chicken), "licorice," (a pink lei), and "jelly beans," (a large squishy egg) stuck in between them. A splash of "juice" (silly string) tops off their meal!

So they "brushed" their teeth, but still had to "floss" to get all the gunk out. Hilarious!

Thank you, Dr. Brandon, for the good reminders, fun activities, and goodie bags too! If you need a pediatric dentist in the Tigard area, I highly recommend him!

Then it was time for our Daisy Chefs to get cooking!

They worked together to prepare a healthy snack, representing all 5 food groups!

Pita bread for grains...

Cucumbers and carrots for Veggies...

Cheese for Dairy...

Pears for Fruit...

And hummus for Protein... YUM!

What a special Girl Scout meeting!
