Rules of the Tent

Yesterday, Reiss and his new therapists built a monster-sized tent fort in his room constructed from blankets, beanbag chairs, and aluminum-framed kids papasan chairs. Reiss loved it so much, he asked if he could keep it up and sleep in there last night. And that is exactly what he did.

Of course no fort would be complete without rules so Reiss and his cohorts drew up a list. These make me laugh out loud:

1. No stepping on the roof.

2. No licking the wand. (Referring to the princess wands Milla brought to the project.)

3. No sitting on beanbags.

4. No running.

5. No stepping on the chair.

6. No knocking down the (Lego) tower.

7. No taking the blankets off.

8. No pushing the chair.

9. Do not tell anyone the password (which was "blah blah." Oops...I told the password.). Only friends.

10. No banging the wand on the floor.

Those ten rules completed the list yesterday but after playing in the tent for a little while this morning, Reiss and Milla felt they needed to added an eleventh rule.

11. No tearing down the chimney in the tent.

This last one may prove itself to be a difficult rule to follow, especially considering I have no idea where the chimney is located inside the tent.
