Caught: Red-Handed

Oh Joshua! You were caught! 

I rearranged your room, trying to change it from the guest bedroom/office into a bedroom for a little boy. I finally got your bookshelf with all your books into your room. Up to this point, you haven't been in a room where you could get out of bed and get to your books by yourself. 

Today at nap time we read your book and I walked out. Not long after, from across the room I thought I saw you climbing out of bed. I waited... I saw you climb back into bed... Then I could hear you reading. Daddy snuck up to take a video.



We thought it was cute, and couldn't help but giggle to one another. Neither one of us wanted to be "the bad guy" and go in to tell you to put the book away. It turned out we didn't need to. You came bursting out of your room, "Look Daddy! I found Diego Saves the Tree Frogs!" Pure Joy on your face... Only to be dashed. Both Daddy and I said that we were glad you found your book, but you were supposed to be taking a rest, and rest time is not time for reading. Guilt covered your face. You  had tears as Daddy helped you back into bed. You really were sorry. Maybe not for reading during nap time, but maybe more for getting caught.
