911

A couple days ago AJ came to me VERY concerned about his silly bands. Someone had been STEALING them!!! He was so upset. I assured him no one had been in his room and since he never wears them it was more likely they were misplaced. At the moment the silly bands were all over his floor so I explained they could have gotten stuck to someone's sock, TK could have picked them up, etc. I thought that was the end.... The next day he let me know another was missing. I told him we would look when I got home from work. Today is Saturday. My FAVORITE day! The day to sleep in, relax, do nothing.... Every Friday I remind the kids Saturday we sleep in (my way of saying, "Please don't get up and wake me up!") AJ woke up this morning at 6:45.... this is the same kid that I can't drag out of bed at 7:30 on school days. I was so sick this morning and could not talk this morning and did not want to deal with ANYTHING! I thought he went back to bed. After a while I heard Mark tell him just to get some legos out and play. I was enjoying sleeping!! Then AJ walked in announcing, "I just called 911 so the police will come." Obviously Mark and I got out of bed. After questioning his reasoning he called because he was serious about someone stealing his silly bands. I am constantly surprised by this kid. Besides calling 911 he sent several texts to different people and called a couple of random numbers. I guess that will teach me to sleep in (:
