This boy has been up to some pretty sneaky stuff lately.
We have Seth & Cade (two years older than he) to thank.
Thank goodness he has a guilty conscience and always spills the beans!
Example #1
So the other day he asked me if I wanted to go somewhere REALLY COOL.
We all wanted to, so we got on bikes and I got Dash in the stroller only to follow Scout to the private school around the corner.
He made us hide our bikes behind a shed and follow him.
Then he proceeded to go over to the school playground and climb over one locked fence, then two and then head to a door he could open from the inside and invited us in to play.
Once in, he told us to wait while he was going to climb one of three locked sheds that had a missing skylight.
Apparently he was going to get us a basketball we could play with.
Micah and I looked at each other and didn’t know whether to scold him or high five him.
I personally thought it was the adventure of a lifetime for a 6 year old!
But Micah parented up and said, “I think this is a better place to be without parents”.
Someone didn’t want to get in trouble….
And it wasn’t Scout!
We did play for a bit, and then left.

Example #2
A different day, my mom was coming home and mentioned that she saw Scout and Seth riding their bikes past the gate.
Scout came home and told me he got a cookie, and it was SO GOOD!
I asked where, and he told me they just rode to the senior center down the street.
He told me the old people were really nice and said to come back any time.
I told him differently.

But as sneaky as this kid is, the other night as he was up at Seth and Cade’s house, they were going to watch a movie. A few minutes later, I got a call from the sister that Scout said he wasn’t allowed to watch this particular movie. (Diary of a Wimpy Kid). I was SO proud of him–amongst all of his older friends, for following the rules. I immediately headed up and brought a movie he was allowed to watch. Not only was I proud of him for not following the crowd, but I was proud of his two older buddies for completely supporting him and not getting on him about it.

Sneaky or not…I love this little guy.
