This is J setting our mouse traps. I watched him set three, and by the fourth one I forced him to let me take pics because his reaction was always the same when he released it on the final step! (and, yes, I know he is sexy; no, he is not naked, although it almost looks that way. Besides, setting mouse traps naked does NOT sound like a good idea to me.)
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.
