I thought we were past this!

Ok here is an entertaining story. Kaden asked me to help him find his Superman hat. I said to wait a minute and promptly forgot to help him. I go to take a shower and enter my closet to get my clothes and find Kaden sitting on top of a PILE of Nates work clothes. Shirts/jackets/sweaters/BDU's/pants. Thrown from the hangers flooding out the closet door. I did not yell...I did not scream...I said "what are you doing!" with a bit of shock in my voice. Kaden fell apart crying "I can't find my hat" I kept my cool, I held him and apologized for forgetting to help. He only took matters into his own hands, and looked. Only he took the entire closet down in the process - I thought we were past these big messes. I did not take a photo, because I made him help me clean it all up right away. I did not want to humiliate him. Anyway, we never found the hat, but we both learned how to handle the situation -

Kaden- don't tear Mom and Dad's closet apart - NOT COOL.

MOM- find out the reason behind the behavior even if he just tore your closet apart and made a BIG mess for you to clean up. GO MOM!!!
