Life Lesson

 Savannah had her first encounter with stealing yesterday. She didn't actually take the item out of the store but she did take a toy that was in the check out stand and then take it with her to the bathroom after we had paid for our items. Its amazing how well kids can hid things they don't want you to see. Once we got in the bathroom I quickly noticed the toy and took it from her. After she used the restroom we had a talk about stealing and she then had to take the item to the cashier and apologize for taking it. She was more then embarrassed and could barely speak above a whisper. The cashier was very kind and thanked Savannah for bringing back the toy. As soon as we walked out of the store Savannah burst into tears. When we got home we had another talk about why we couldn't take things before we buy them and once Jacob got home he and Savannah had a talk as well. This morning while we were watching a show one of the characters ate something before he had paid for it, immediately Savannah said that was naughty and he had to pay for that first. I was glad to see that she learned something from our talks and hopefully we won't have to go over this again.
