Ready to Listen

When getting ready for our day this morning, at some point, Declan handed me his phone and I put it in my bag and took it to work. When I realized I gave Daddy the heads up right away because Declan would normally want to play some games at some point between his getting home and my getting home. On the drive home from Kelly's Daddy told Declan that I'd accidentally brought it with me to work. Declan's reply was "I bet Mommys at work saying 'Ooooops'."

It was kind of like that.

This evening Declan wanted me to play with him in his room. While I was waiting for him upstairs Daddy told him to pick out the toys he wanted to bring to bed since he'd be having his bath soon so no need to be going back downstairs later. Declan just wasn't listening and I could hear there was some discussing going on downstairs. Next Declan was making his way up the stairs yelling back to Daddy saying "Don't tell Mommy! Don't tell Mommy that! Daddy don't tell Mommy!" I was sitting on the floor in his room waiting for him and he's still yelling down to Daddy 'not to tell me' when he walks in, stops, looks at me and then turns around and runs downstairs saying "Ok, I'm ready to listen now Daddy, I'm ready to listen now." Funny little character.
