Sneaky One

Little boy thinks he is sneaky.  He pushed a stool over to the counter while I was looking at him, lowered his head (because clearly he can't be seen when he lowers his head) sneaks a piece of wrapped chocolate off the cookie plate, then hides it in his hand.  Next he abandons the stool and hides on the other side of the island trying to get the package open.  When I knelt down and asked him what he was doing he kept his back to the island and scooted carefully to the other side while keeping his head lowered . .. thus thinking he can't be seen.  I followed him asking for the candy back and he took off running to hide between the couch and the ottoman.



I grabbed the camera and this is how I found him

Busted!

As soon as he noticed me he knew he had to relocate immediately

Time was closing in on him,

Then there it was, VICTORY!  I heard the package burst open and saw the grin spread across his face

There it was in his hot little hands, chocolaty goodness waiting to be eaten . . . even though Mommy said NO

Then, he held it up and said "Please, Mommy"

 

So I caved and let him have it, he worked hard for it and provided me with a lot of entertainment at the same time.
