Shoulda Taken a Picture…

I walked into the pantry today and what a sight! THere were old diapers, 2 banana peels, and 3 wadded up paper towels adorning the shelves. Caden-2yr is the designated trash-goer, and is usually very helpful. I brought him to the pantry and asked why the trash was everywhere. He looked at me and smiled. "You SAID to THROW it away!" 

uh huh. He’s got me there. And he is a little boy who loves any excuse to get athletic, after all. Hurling banana peels at the top of the pantry WITH mom’s permission…? Sweet!

And now I"m practicing saying "Put it in the trashcan, please!"

It sounds like Caden-2 yr is a loop hole finder like my Tyler-11 yr. The only trouble is that it’s not so cute at this point. 8^)

Sounds like some kids I know. They take every word you say as literal gospel. Just imagine all the fun that can lead to.

Lesson learned: Be specific. VERY specific.

Thanks for the tip!
