A few nights ago, I was relaxing in front of the TV when I heard a noise downstairs. Both boys had been in bed for about an hour. When I went downstairs, I found Trevin awake and playing. Appearantly he heard me coming down the stairs because he was standing with his back to me and covering his eyes! Guess he thought I couldn't see him. He was facing the sliding glass door, so I could see his reflection in the glass. I decided not to say anything to him because I thought I wanted him to fess up to the fact that he was doing something he shouldn't have been doing. I just stood there and he didn't move for a couple minutes. His curiosity must have gotten the best of him because I soon noticed him adjusting his stance and moving his hands around his eyes as if he was making fake binoculars! He was trying to see my reflection in the glass while maintaining his 'incognito' status. The image I saw was a 3 1/2 year old boy standing in the middle of the floor trying to hide from his mommy. It was all I could do to keep from laughing out loud when I saw him trying to scope me out through his makeshift binoculars! He eventually tiptoed behind the couch (while keeping his 'binoculars' at his eyes) and made eye contact with me around the couch.
Despite the comedy of the whole situation, it showed me that my little guy is growing up and getting smarter everyday. He has a definate grasp on the concept of right and wrong. But he's starting to get creative about ways to avoid getting in trouble!
