"Junior, stop playing, and come put on your underwear." I said sitting down on the bed.
He somehow snuck his way into the pantry and ate a whole bar of chocolate. He had chocolate all over his face and clothes so for the second time today I had to give him a shower. Now, the sugar kicked in and he won't stop playing.
"Junior, come here." I said a lot more sterner.
He ran over to me and collapsed in my arms with a giggle. It was cute, but he still needs to be punished. I helped him stand upright before putting his underwear on.
"Junior." I said looking at him.
"Yes, mommy?" He said as his smile began to disappear.
"If you wanted chocolate you should have told me that you wanted it; not, climb all the way up and take it. You could have fallen and got seriously hurt, on top of all of that, you made a mess of yourself and in the kitchen." I said to him.
"I'm sworry mommy." He pouted as he played with his hands.
"For?" I asked.
"For taking the chocolate w-without asking." He said looking up at me.
"Apology accepted, but you have to learn that every action has a consequence. So, after dinner, you won't get any dessert, alright?" I said making sure he understands.
"Yes." He said.
"Good, now go pick out on clothes so I could put them on." I said.
Junior walked away sulking. It was hard to see him so sad, but he needed to learn that his actions have a consequence. I'm actually quite proud of myself for handling that so appropriately. Parenting is hard, but I'm glad that I'm getting the hand of it.
Junior returned with his clothes in hand, but before I was able to put them on my phone began to ring.
