Little Boy lost

April 10th, 2007 by gillygirl

I had a very frightening experience yesterday. I took my two little boys to a free Easter festival yesterday as my husband was working and kids were going stir crazy. Now for those of you who have read my previous posts I know what you are thinkin - "is this lady crazy? Crazy no - desperate to get out of the house - YES!

I was so proud of myself - It was all going so well, train rides, face painting, food, fire engine and then the animal farm. My eldest simply did not want to leave the pigs. After insisting it was time to go back home he refused. Then as I turned my back to place no 2 son in his stroller, he you guess it - did the runner - AGAIN!!!

This time I had to get security and the police at the festival to find him. Thank goodness it only took 5-10 minutes (mind you felt like a lot more) they found little spiderman (face paint came in handy) at the back of the jumping castle. He simply smiled at me and went back to jumping.

This child will be the END of me!!! Never, ever, again…..

My heart dropped as I read this. I know the feeling. We are going to NY in a few weeks and Olivia will be strapped in the stroller, even though she is nearly 5 because she has a habit of wandering off. Glad you found him safe and sound!

Have a great time in NY - very jealous! Yes it is a horrible feeling to think you have lost them and the tears just well up.

Luckily for me I don’t know the feeling - but stuff the tears, I would have had a melt down!!
