Sometimes when your heart is heavy, you browse through family photographs for sweet memories and something to smile about again. This was the case with me last night. And I found one that really made me laugh.
I had to share this with you - it is what happens when you turn your back on a toddler - for even a moment. Lukas decided to just help himself to the cake. He is so-o-o-o adorable - how could anyone be upset with the "little angel". Fortunately this was at Nana's house, and I did not get upset. Instead, I grabbed my camera. One day he will laugh at this photo too.
And for a more recent update - his mommie called me this week laughing. Early in the day she had baked a chocolate sheet cake with chocolate icing (they love chocolate). She had put Lukas to bed, then she went to take her shower. After her shower, she was on her way downstairs, when she peeked into his room to check on him. He was in bed, but not asleep. Her first clue that something wasn't as it should be, was the strong sweet scent of choclolate. She switched the bedside lamp on, and to her surprise, there was chocolate all over his face, his pj's, and the bedding. She immediately asked him if he had gotten out of bed and been to the kitchen. He - so very innocently - said "no mommie, I didn't touch the cake". She took him to the mirror and asked what was all that stuff on his face. Amazingly, he did not own up to his mischief.
Kids - they are really something. This reminds me that we really have a huge responsibility in guilding them down the correct paths; holding them accountable for their actions. It can be a daunting task, but so very necessary in order to one day see the young men and women that we are so proud of. These life lessons will go a long way.
