so, I wrote a nice long blog, actually. But then the internet disconnected and I lost it. this is the shortened version: I have a lot of school work. Life has gotten complicated since childhood. I miss my family. ... and it ended like this: "always look on the briiiight siiiiide of life. doo doo, doo doo, doo do dood do dood do."
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.
