Your preschooler will try and trip you up. Guaranteed. He's already been acting out some (okay, a lot) with a month of much-loved company and a new baby sister in the house, all of which are, unfortunately, derailing his nice predictable routine.
So here is the latest shenanigan. The baby is napping. I'm at the computer catching up on emails and lab invoices, trying not to fall asleep myself. Parker is unusually quiet for a rambunctious 4-year-old boy in a kitchen. I finally hear the clank of the steel garbage can lid and the triumphant smack of two hands dusting each other off. I slowly turn my office chair around and cautiously ask my son... "Umm, what are you doing?" He just looks sneakily at me and shrugs his shoulders... "Ohh, just putting a little trash in da garbage can." And then quickly rolls his eyes and walks past me into the living room. Hmmm...
Three seconds later, I hear a scratching-on-metal sound and then a muffled "mrrrreowwww".......
Busted.
WHAHAHAHA!!!! Sounds like he needs to confess to Chris again that he's "not bein' right..."
