While walking down the stairs I hear a thump (sounds like a kid jumping on the floor) in the living room. I walk in to the living room and Nicholas is standing by the computer desk:
Me - what are you doing?
Him - nothing (eyes averted)
Me - really, what were you doing?
Him - nothing
Me - Why are you in here?
Him - nothing (eyes averted)
Me - Are you lying?
Him - uhmm..no (fidgety)
Me - Nicholas Alan - what were you doing!
Him - getting a piece of tape (sniffing)
Me - go sit on the stairs for lying
Him - "slinks" over to stairs and holds head in hands
Me - walk away for a couple minutes, then come back and ask; what was tape for?
Him - to hang something up in my room (tears flowing)
Me - ok, you can get a piece of tape; do you know why you're in trouble?
Him - crying...words in french or some language I don't understand are spoken
Me - because you lied; getting tape is okay as long as you ask, but if I ask you a question you have to tell daddy the truth. Do you understand?
Him - yesssshhh (pouting/tears)
Me - ok, love you; you can get up
Geez, being a Dad is hard sometimes!

You are doing good - just look and listen to those three wonderful
kids that you are raising! They are great kids - anyone would be proud to call them their own!!
As I am reading your post and Gramy C's right on observation the song I am listening to is Lead Me. Good choice of music for your story of Nicholas being a child. You (we)can't do it alone but if you (we) trust Him you (we)will be successful.
