So tomorrow is looking to be a busy day for me. I have a follow up doctors appointment at 9:30(which I will be bringing M to with me), then I have to rescue best friend Justine and take her to drop off her car to get it fixed, and then I go to babysit so cousin Jessica can finally get something done for herself, and at the end of the day (late into the night) we are going to see my cousin's band, Exile Vim, playing at a bar in Wichita (which ought to be a lot of fun). Long day, but it should be fun. (oh, and check it out, I figured out how to add a link!! woo hoo! I'm learning.)
Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.
