Norah joined Girl Scouts back in November. It hasn’t been anything we ever planned on doing but when she was having trouble in school (before we knew what was going on) a mom reached out and asked if Norah wanted to join their daisy troop. She said yes and the very first night walked right in and told me I could leave. So that was our first clue that her screaming and crying was school related.
She has loved girl scouts ever since. And this past weekend we went to girl scout camp at Camp Skimino. I used to go to Camp Skimino when I was a girl scout many many years ago.
They kept us busy the entire weekend. Because the Daisys are the youngest we got to sleep in the cabins but it was 16 bunks i think and no one slept much that night. Norah whispered to me when we were brushing our teeth that the girls had planned on pretending to go to sleep and then getting up and partying all night long. We had to leave our house at 6am and they kept us going until 9:30 that night so I knew they would all crash quick. I told Norah that was ok with me but that she had to lay down for a few minutes in her sleeping bag. All the girls were out quick but then moms took turns all night getting up with different girls to take to the bathrooms - we had to walk to the bathrooms. At one point Norah was crying in her sleep and a few girls had gotten cold so they tried to sleep in the same bunk. Norah ended up with me at 3am. So we were exhausted and tired coming home but it was well worth it.
