Doesnt it just break your heart? It does, it kills me.... I hate doing this, but today... Teagen decided to travel to our next door neighbor's house ( thankfully it's my Mom's house). But still, he's only 4, and I cant turn my head that he cant be gone in 5 seconds... He's been whining all day to go see Granny, and ride his *new* bike... It's like 100 degrees outside, and a little humid, so I said later Bubba.. not right now.. So, I go to the bathroom, and as a mom of 4 as some of you know, it's not leisure time like our DH's LOLOL! I get out, holler Teagen... Teagen..... Teagen... Im thinking, he was just playing right here... OH uh-uh! That little turkey took that 5 seconds to escape! He's no dummy, he knows how to unlock the front door... I know bad... So, Im frantic.. my heart races a bit, I go outside, no Teagen on the swingset, not on the trampoline, and there sits his new bike... OMG, Im screaming TEAGEN!!! TEAGEN!!!! Finally what felt like an hour ( only seconds later) "What Mommy?" "here I am" " I went to see Granny". I couldve died. This is the 2nd time he did this, and the 1st time, I gave him a stern talking to, and timeout. Well, not today. I spatted him, and then made him get in timeout.. He wouldnt look at me at all at 1st... Then he came around. I explained to him , how much Mommy and Daddy love him and how a stranger could steal him... I hugged him, kissed him and he cried somemore.. He said he loved me, and wont do that again... It's all part of growing up, but when it's your baby, your last baby at home... Somehow it's just harder to do... Anyway... an eventful afternoon, and of course I scrapped it.
TTFN!

I totally understand. It is hard but had to be done. It is how they learn. Don't beat yourself up over it. ((Amanda))
