Home Alone

I just got back from a run over to the track. When I left everyone (except Lucy) was sound asleep. Upon my return, I found a tan snuggie on the floor in the kitchen. As I walk further into the kitchen I see the snack cupboard is open with a stool pulled over to it. At this point I'm certain there is a Kaden loose in the house. I walk around looking for him and quietly calling him. He answers, "I'm in Kenna's bed." When I make my way to Mackinna's room there I find the two of them cuddled up in her bed with Kaden holding an entire sleeve of open graham crackers. It was just the sweetest sight. I did question why he woke his sister rather than Daddy who was in the bed next to him. He didn't have a good answer.

After I found him he decided to come back downstairs with with, and asked that I pick up toys. I thought this was a strange request coming from someone who doesn't typically care much about picking up, until I made my way to the hall and the front stair case where I found his fisher price barn and then scattered along the stairs and the downstairs hall, all the animals and farmers that were inside it.

When we got downstairs I notice the bathroom light is on and turn it off. Kaden says to me, "I went potty standing up Mommy."

So he got up, looked for me, couldn't find me, so decided to just do what he needed to on his own. He went to the bathroom, got a snack, got some toys out and then climbed back into bed with his sister. He DID NOT- brush his teeth or get dressed though. Maybe next time.
