Little macgyver

Kaden's mind and imagination never cease to amaze me. Here's a couple of examples of stuff that's happened in the last week or so....

One day I was in rocking Bosten, when I heard a BLOOD CURLING scream. I jumped up to go find Kaden and I couldn't find him. He's screaming, and I'm yelling trying to figure out where in the world he is. This is where I found him:

Wedged behind our bed (between the bed and the window). WHY did he go back there? I have no idea. He saw something and thought he'd try and get it. He was pretty freaked out that he got stuck. We both were crying, but I got him out. He promised he wouldn't try it again.

The rule for rest time around here is that if he's not going to sleep, he has to stay in his room for an hour. He can play his Leapster, read books, or play as long as he STAYS IN HIS ROOM. One day I heard little footsteps trying to be quiet, but definitely out of his room. I came upstairs to investigate and I found him with this:

One of his books had gotten underneath his bed and he couldn't reach it. He grabbed on of his plastic putters, smeared glue all over it, and was going to try and get his book out by having it stick to the putter. A pretty smart idea for a 4 year old. In fact, brilliant. However, he was still busted since he was in the glue AND out of his room.

After a really long day, I was at the end of my rope and sent Kaden to his room. I went in a couple minutes later to tell him he could get up. Instead, I ended up taking his picture.

I don't know if you can tell, but his Leapster is on AND he's got his little wand on the game. SO FUNNY. I wasn't so mad anymore (I can't even remember why I sent him to his room in the first place!). I love this kid.
