Things I learnt this weekend:
Further exposure will not teach Boogie not to fall off picnic tables.
Gravity is not that kid's friend. He falls off picnic tables every time he goes near one. His usual technique is to suddenly disappear between the chair and table, managing to simultaneously smack his face and spine, but he's open to faceplanting off the side and leaning backwards right off the seat.
4 times that kid came off. His forehead is purple and there's probably still a facemark in the dirt.
Kids will never remember that tent doorways start a few inches from the ground.
Every single time they go through the door, they will land on their faces. This doesn't stop them from going in and out seventeen billion times, but if you hold a small hand and help them through it will lead to them gasping in astonishment "I didn't go bonk Mummy!" like they didn't know it was possible.
You can't convince them that the neighboring campers aren't listening to poosic.
This is because even you know it's true. Unfortunately they will also tell said campers this the next morning. And cheer when their batteries go flat.
To be continued..
