Like I said, I don't know if it was a good idea or not, but she is still really stinkin' cute.
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.

I still have a horrible memory of Mom cutting my hair and taking me out into the apartment stairwell to sweep the hair off me and the little boy from upstairs coming down and saying "Oh look at the little boy getting his haircut."
:( It was a sad experience for me.
She is stinkin' cute either way though!
