Moving Out

Sam's funny face

I've never heard of a three-and-a-half year old running away before, but mine did last night. We had a great day together-- he took a really long nap and criticized my infamous M&M cookies (he wanted chocolate chip). After Kate went to sleep we played "Don't Break The Ice", and he did well winning and losing. At some point, he got upset with me and started up the stairs to his room. I'd asked him to take his suitcase with him if he was going upstairs and he said, "You're not nice. I'm going to move out. I'm not living here any more."

I just waited a minute to see what would happen next. Suitcase towards the door or upstairs? I didn't have to wait long.

"When I grow up, I'm moving out."
