Begging for punishment


I have a funny story to share. There is usually one every day to tell, but I have been so bad about blogging. I thought I better start now and share this one.

I dropped Cade off at Kyle's office this afternoon so I could join some ladies in the ward for lunch and do some grocery shopping. Things like that seem so much easier if I can lighten the load by one child.

For Cade, going to Daddy's office is a special treat. We packed a lunch (yogurt, veggies, string cheese) and goodies to keep him happy---fruit snacks, a capri sun, and cookie stix that dip in chocolate frosting(why weren't those around when I was growing up!?). We also brought two movies. What could be better than hanging out at the office with Daddy AND watching movies?

At some point during lunchtime Cade spilled his yogurt. Cade was clearly upset at what he did and while Kyle was cleaning it off the floor he said,

"Daddy, can I go to the corner?"

"No, Cade," Kyle answered.

"Daddy, can I take a cold shower?" he then asked.

"No, Cade," Kyle again answered.

Cade gave a third try, "Daddy, can I take a nap?"

Finally with big watery-eyes he said, "Daddy, I sad."

This was hilarious to Kyle-- Cade was trying to come up with some sort of punishment that Kyle would agree to for spilling the yogurt. Let 's hope he keeps this conscience clearing attitude up through the teenage years.

That is the cutest picture of Cade! He is such a good boy. Momma and daddy have him trained well. I can only wish for the same...
