The Garbage and the Fork

Nicholas had lots of trouble following directions today. So tonight when he put a toy in his mouth after I had just asked him not to and threatened to throw it away, I took it. He was convinced that I threw it in the garbage and started screaming and crying. Finally he stomped off into the kitchen and I started to play with Christopher. I heard the silverware drawer open but didn't think much about it until I heard the top to the garbage can open. I turned around and Nicholas was using a fork to pick through the garbage and look for his toy!
