My mom and Erin left me last night! :( It's a total bummer. The day after having guests seems particularly lonely. All the hustle and bustle, and then you're just back to normal life....which can be nice and relaxing, but it makes me lonely...I know I still have 2 kids, but still... I miss them. We had a great week, and got to see lots of family. It was nice to see everyone. I love when we all get together. But, right now my class is starting, so I've got to go.
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.
