Oh my dear little boy...

I am documenting this for future knowledge. Today my little 4 year old Brock decided he would try and trick mom and dad to get what he wanted. Mom had to work tonight so we had dinner and read our scriptures early. Brock was outside playing with our neighbor's 4 year old boy. The were being very good. We told Brock it was time to come in and eat. He had no complaints. It kinda of struck me as odd to not have him fight with us about coming in. We ate and read our scriptures. We read about not telling lies. Afterwards we said our prayers mom got ready for work and Derick and the kids were getting ready to make cookies for the desert. Brock told us he left his sword outside and asked if he could go get it. So we let him. I finished getting ready, Derick changed Kayda's clothes. After awhile we both noticed that Brock was not back. I poked my head out and did not see him anywhere. I did not freak because we knew right where he went. Brock had gone back over to the neighbor's house. He was inside playing video games with them. Derick went over and got him. He told the mom that it was ok with us that he was there. (he has been allowed to go over in the past.) Derick ask why he lied and he told us he knew if he asked we would say no, so that is why. Poor guy. He had to sit on the couch and watch Daddy and Kayda make cookies. (mom left for work) But hopefully he learned his lesson.
