Giggs’ Portrait
April 3, 2008I don’t think I’ve blogged about this yet, but I am officially a ‘Big Sister’ through Big Brothers Big Sisters. I signed up back in November and after all the screening interviews, criminal record check, references, and Christmas holidays, I was finally matched with a nine-year-old girl. I’ll call her C or refer to her as my ‘Little’.
C and I have had a couple outings together so far and she really likes to do crafts, so I usually plan one each visit. I see her once a week for 2-4 hours. C really likes animals (Giggs included) and Giggs ADORES her as he does most children. Last time C was over she decided that she would like to do some drawing and she asked if she could sketch Giggs. I grabbed him and put him in my lap so he would stay semi-still for her. Anyway, here’s Giggs’ portrait:
This was her very first pug sketch and she did this in about two minutes! We decided to put it on the fridge and hung it down at the very bottom so Giggs can check himself out as often as he likes -he is a little bit vain after all.
Wow, I’ve got to say that is a really good drawing Giggs. Girl’s got talent…
Aww that is such a cute portrait. It’s really good!
Okay, I’m finally commenting!! I’ve read your blog for a couple of months and think it is very cute (plus, you have a pug, so you’re automatically cool!) Anyhow, that drawing is really good for such a young girl…she has talent!!
Well hello! I always like to hear from new people on the ol blog. I’ll pop over and pay you a visit as well :)
Oh my gosh! Your “Little” is so sweet! That’s such a good drawing of a pug, too! Truly, she is a pug artist!
Hey! I remember you wanted a “little” for ages, so congratulations! That pug pic is adorable, what a talented girl! :)
Love W and D xx
That is so cool you have a little sister . . . and what an impressive picture she drew for someone so young!
That is IMPRESSIVE!

WOW…good for you! we are familuar the BBBBS! My daughter’s her Big sister won the New Hampshire BBBS of the year award last year!

Great drawing and GO YOU for joining such a worthwhile progam.
Wow! I am impressed! That is one heck of a good drawing! Maybe C is going to be an artist when she grows up!
Love,

That is so cute! She will probably always remember her big with the super cute dog!
Alan and I had a little once through a similar program in college. He wouldn’t talk to us and didn’t want to attend the group outings half the time. I remember the first time we went to meet him, he looked and me and said “Aw man, they gave me a girl?!” Downhill from there!
