This morning we had oatmeal for breakfast and in the process of cleaning up I accidentally left the brown sugar on the kitchen table. I passed by the table a couple of times in between answering the phone and changing diapers and made a mental note, "Oh yeah, don't forget to put that away before the kids get into it." But of course, I went on to answer the phone, change that diaper, empty the trash, unload the dishwasher, etc. all the while forgetting that the sugar was on the table. When it came time to vacuum I put Jonathan in his high chair with a couple of graham crackers so he wouldn't be under foot. A few minutes later I walked by and saw that Jonathan had completely smashed his crackers into a pile of tiny crumbs. Then I thought, "You know, I bet Aden did that. What a stinker!" So then I looked at Aden (who was sitting on the couch) and he too had a huge pile of tiny crushed graham crackers next to him. And then I thought, "Wait, I didn't give Aden graham crackers." Well, at that point it took about two seconds for me to realize that those two piles weren't graham crackers at all...they were piles of BROWN SUGAR! Aden helped himself to a pile and like the sweet thoughtful brother that he is gave Jonathan a pile too.

"Um Mom, can I get that bowl back please?"

Hmm...at least you already had the vacuum out so you were ready to clean up that mess! And isn't it nice that Aden shares without being asked? :-)
That's too cute that Aden shared! :)
Such a cute little story
