Ashleigh and Sleep

Ashleigh said to me the other day that she hates having to sleep, because it seems like wasted time when you could be doing something interesting. I swear I didn’t put those words in her mouth, but it does make you proud to hear one of your children discovering for themselves something that you have often felt.

Last week she had a 3 day school camp, and they no doubt stayed awake till all hours. Over Easter, she is on a 4 night Scout camp. The week after that, they are sleeping over at the Scout Hall, ready to wake up at 4am to attend the Anzac Day Dawn Service.

Ashleigh is getting the most out of her days this month!

    So, out of interest, why is Ashleigh in Scouts, and not Guides? … is it that Guides fails to interest her somehow? … or is it a geography thing - no local Guide group or whatever? … or has the whole thing changed since i was a Scout?

    The whole thing has changed since we were scouts. Guides is now pretty small, and there are roughly as many girls as boys, at least in Ash’s troop.

    FWIW, the girls are a lot more focussed and together about what they do at scouts, I’d put my money on them to survive in the bush a lot longer without assistance than the boys would.

    She got an extra hour for daylight savings too, but I thought she was asleep for that.
