More on the Marching Band

Cayla and I had some marching band therapy today and it was wonderful! I think watching the marching band is better than eating chocolate or ice cream (although we did both those things while watching the marching band, so a true scientific study it was not).

Flannery coaches Collin's soccer team and they practice on Thursdays. This in itself is enough to throw Cayla into a fit. But the fact that other boys, including one from HER class get to pile into the minivan with Flannery and Collin to caravan off to soccer practice WITHOUT her is completely unbearable. Oh, and Cayla woke up coughing at 4am and never fell back asleep, so that may have had something to do with it too.

Anyway, this was Cayla's first time at the marching band and she was mesmerized! Her favorites by far were the baton twirlers and the cymbals. Watching baton twirlers for 5 minutes does more for Cayla than a whole week of meditation and yoga does for me. It's simply magical, people.
