Cookie Thief

Tonight, Zackery decided to go to bed with a cookie is in his possession. Layla not missing a beat took the cookie away and brought it into Mom and Dad's room. "Look what Zack had under his pillow," as she unveiled a cookie with one bite in it.

I, of course, was curious how he got the cookie since we placed the cookie package on top of the fridge and asked Layla, "Did you give him a cookie?" She quickly yelped, "NO!" However, her body language told a different story and we had to bring in Zackery to ensure she was telling the truth. So 1 long minute, Zackery comes in, cuddling his teddy bear in his arms. "How did you get a cookie?" "I wanted it." "I asked how did you get it?" "I had to climb up." "So YOU climbed up there and got it?" "Yes." Layla was dismissed back to bed and Zackery had to go talk to dad. Dad had to take him back into the kitchen and talk to him about not climbing up the kitchen counters and he is NOT allowed to eat cookies without permission. He, of course, cried at the realization that he cannot eat cookies as he pleases and got sent to bed cookie-less.

Ending note: It's hard to believe that January has flown by! The Boye Family continues to trek through the ups and downs on their daily lives and enjoying all that we are involved in.
