Living La Vida Cookie Crisp

In what is either the best idea I've ever had or the absolute worst idea that I've ever had, Mila is signed up for a parkour camp this week. The kid plays "The Floor is Lava" approximately ALL OF THE TIME and is constantly sitting on tables, walking across furniture, or jumping off of things, so maybe this will help her do all of those things more safely? I sure as hell can't stop her.

It's not for a lack of trying.

Schedules being what they are, parkour camp starts tomorrow. That means I had a random Monday when I could either keep Mila home or send her to her regular camp and hahahahalolz I picked wrong. I kept her home. But, SURPRISE! She was actually really good all day. She made a bunch of crafts for me, which involved learning how to draw stars. Do you want to see a Mila flip all the way out from happiness? Teach her how to draw a star. It's truly magical.

ANYWAY. Mila was good all day, though I should have sent her to regular camp because ZOMG THE KID KNOWS HOW TO PARTY.

So, I said, "You're staying home from camp today." Mila translated that into, "You can live in pajamas and eat Cookie Crisp all day."

Like, she's a genius, right? She legit refused to get dressed because, "I don't have to if I'm staying home." And the Cookie Crisp is the most giant bag of cereal you've ever seen. She's been pecking away at it for weeks, but a whole day at home meant she could stick her face in it and just go. There was a point where I put some real food in front of her, but she was pretty happy living la vida Cookie Crisp, so whatever.

We all need a break sometimes. I'm glad at least one of my kids knows how to slow down for a day, though she DEFINITELY didn't learn it from me.
