When is crazy hat day

You can change the colors and patterns and embellishments as you wish. There is no wrong way to do it! My daughter loves popcorn! Here is a fun DIY Popcorn crazy hat you can make out of cotton balls and a highlighter. How about a yogurt cup crazy hat! Lastly, another fun option is to make a unicorn headband for crazy hat day! Watch the YouTube video on how I made it. Thanks so much for this idea. My preschooler and I will surely try out this hat for our crazy hat day next week!

Luckily we have almost everything except hot glue. We will try to manage without it. Your email address will not be published.

Comments Wow!! I like and need you. Because you take mycomplicated, sensitive kid every day and then she comes home later and she did things and she was safe and happy. You must be doing something right. But I have a request. Please, please be a true partner to working parents and stop with the crazy hat days.

For all the articles about the invisible mental load — this one is not invisible at all and it needs to be addressed. I knew crazy hat day was today. Or maybe we simply ran out of time. As two practicing attorneys with two children, every single day is an exercise in triage, all day, at work and at home.

It is difficult to even find the time to register for camp — which we rely on as a critical piece of our childcare in the summer months. And then to get the health records in. And label the clothes. And find a way to ensure that no one goes into camp without sunblock on. None of these tasks, individually, seems too daunting but for parents who work literally around the clock, they are collectively oppressive. We get them done just barely and only because my husband is aces because if you want camp, you get the vaccine records in — that is non-negotiable for safety.

No issue there. But what about all the extra stuff. I am lucky, I think, that my partner even feels responsible for these extra assignments -- I suspect most mothers are on their own.

The point is, we pay good money to have our children loved and safely cared for during the day and then we do all the things to make sure they can attend, and then we set up the system for the various supplies and accoutrements to go with them in the camp routine, and for someone to be home when they get off the bus, and all that jazz. Is it too much to ask not to be handed nearly-daily extra assignments that are ultimately just more opportunities for us to drop the ball?

Because we will. I will. But those are the only two hours I had to actually spend time with my babies whom I love and try hard not to disappoint when I can avoid it. I chose to use that time to bathe them, make them terrible grilled cheese you use butter on the inside and outside, right?

However, in choosing to spend the time that way, I was also, subconsciously, making a choice to screw my kid at camp today.
