A Bit Shady!

Luke decided he needed his shades last night for bed!  I did not fight him on it because he is truly the reason I have learned to pick my battles!  I figured he could not hurt himself or his brother, and I honestly thought he would take them off before going to sleep.  But, as you can see, he crashed with them on, and I could not resist taking pics! In a rather rare occurrence, they both went to sleep without getting out of bed, crying or tantrums, and Luke slept through the night!  So, I was feeling pretty good upon waking this morning.  Then within 5 minutes, Logan told a bold-faced lie that ended my serene start.  He made a bit of a mess in the process of going potty, which is no big thing...it happens.  But, he proceeded to tell me that Luke went potty on the floor and on him!  Luke was just standing at the bottom of the stairs looking at me with his giant brown eyes confused.  It took him a bit to admit to the lie, but he came around.  Needless to say, there were consequences for the lie and a discussion about what makes it a lie versus what makes it a fun story.  Later in the day, he told me a very amazing story and made sure to end it with the phrase, "Just joking, Mom"!  Have a blessed day!
