Last night Alyssa had her fly-up ceremony to be Junior Girl Scout. These girls have been together since Kindergarten. And while, it’s only been four years, it has been neat to watch them grow together. They’ve evolved physically from little more than toddlers with chubby cheeks to girls no longer showing signs of baby fat. The emotional development is phenomenal. They are becoming comfortable in their own skin and have the support of each other to do just that.
I sat and watched each girl and felt my heart fall. Soon we will be moving from these amazing girls. Alyssa will leave some of her closest friends.
I tried to hold back the tears. Tim was supportive. He leaned over and said, “this [her new green sash] is for Alyssa, not for your blubbering.”
Thanks, Dear! I know I can always count on you!

Moving is hard. Alyssa’s connection with scouts will make it easier. I know that it did for my boys. Find her a new Troop ASAP after settling in, and for the matter, get Alex and Andy signed up for Tiger Scouts. I know that our scouts have activities through the summer, and it may be a great way to ease in and meet some kids before school starts! Remember, whatever does not kill you, only makes you stronger!
