Caught Red Handed

Last night Sadie was in the bathroom giving Riley a bath. Aiden was in the living room with me dancing and then he headed in the direction of the kitchen and his own bedroom. I'm not a helicopter mom so it didn't even faze me he had walked away. Sadie came out and asked where A was and I said "he went that way" and pointed in the direction. We both yelled his name expecting to hear "What?" in return and all we got was silence. We did it again and silence. Now you can see the panic in our faces. Sadie heads for the kitchen and I stay with Riley who's swimming in the tub happily. I hear her yelling for Aiden as she walks and saying "where are you?" Keep in mind she can't see well. So then I hear Aiden start to cry, a very sad cry. I run to the kitchen and see him in the fridge with the wrapper of what used to be Sadie's chocolate in his hand and I can see chocolate dripping from h
is mouth. I understand everything now. I send Sadie back to watch Riley and talk to Aiden. Sadie had been yelling at him for not answering her when she called and Aiden thought he had been getting in trouble for the chocolate which Sadie hadn't even been able to see. Aiden was devastated, obviously disappointed in himself. He sobbed big hiccupy sobs. We went to talk to Sadie and told her what had happened. We just kept stressing that we weren't mad at him we had just been concerned about where he was. The poor kid could not recover and was a blubbering clingy mess the rest of the night. I put Aiden to bed last night and about 10 minutes later he came and climbed into our bed b/c he wanted someone to cuddle with. How do you say no to that?
