When my now 7 year old was on the brink of his third birthday, he used a lawn chair to get up to the gate lock, unlock it, open the gate, walked two blocks down the street, crossed a busy road around 6 pm at night and was playing with rocks in the parking lot of a record store! thankfully, the store owner’s came out and scooped him up!

And about three weeks ago my now 3 year old went for a hike in the woods with the dog. That necessitated police intervention and search dogs!!!

These kids are out to kill me!!

At least this was like a familiar environment, you know? Not sure where he would have gone if he was out in public.
