I am glad you were able to find Trevayne so quickly.

I hope he is ok. That is a scary feeling. It sounds

like Chenoa has great instincts and is a big helper to

you.

I have a wanderer too, and we have already had one visit from CPS because of it;

not fun.

While we don't have to worry about him freezing to death here in SW Florida, we

live about a block away from a major highway, and Nicky has been tackled within

10 feet of it. And yes, he moves VERY fast for a 2 yo.

When Nicky gets as far as the door, you can usually hear someone yelling

" Houdini Alert! " (because he is such a good escape artist). We still haven't

figured out some of his escapes, and like any good magician, he's not giving up

his secrets.

good luck with yours!

Kep is a runner as well, so I know the fear and the frustration. I'm glad

that he was ok (if a bit cold) and that Chenoa was such a big help to you.

It has been a long time since Kep has done any running, but your post

reminded me that I cannot get lax in my guard duty. Thanks for the

reminder.

I'm glad they were both okay except for almost being

frozen! Yikes. Well, will often do something

for when she asks him to and ignore and

It is frightening when they leave like that. It makes me wonder what can he

possibly be thinking????

Re: LONG Boysicle

I am glad you found him so quickly. Good Job

Chenoa!!

Ebony got out on Xmas day while dh was taking wrapping

and boxes out to the garage. It was very very cold

and she was in a diaper and shirt!! I was frantic and

looking all over for her...we even called the police.

Luckily we found her....in the van. I didn't know she

even knew how to open the van doors, but that is where

she was. Luckily for her or she would have been one

very very cold little girl.

So I know how absolutely scary it is and I'm so glad

he was found quickly!!

How well I do. Mikey is fast. And sneaky.

>>>>I worry about him leaving and freezing to

death. What if I wasn't constantly watching for

him????<<<<

Oh I know.

Today at 4pm I went into the bedroom and lay down with Gabe to nurse him

asleep for a nap.

AN HOUR LATER I WOKE UP!!!!!

Terror. Sheer terror.

We do have a doorknob cover which Mikey does not appear to be able to open,

and I keep the door locked as well. But...it only takes once. When he gets

out the front door he almost always heads around to the back of the building

where there is a 70 foot deep pond/drainage ditch. These things are

everywhere here because where we live should be a swamp.

Oh, gosh, it's the boys' bedtime. Well I'm glad you're all OK!!!

Bye!

Uh-oh. , surely you have learned that you must NEVER boast about

your child or they will promptly prove you wrong. This is a rule to which

there are NO exceptions! I can guess what's coming...

> Early this evening we let the dog out on his chain. a few minutes later

Chenoa comes running in saying that Toby has broken the chain and run off

(he is 1/2 rotti so he is very strong, gentle but strong). I go looking for

his leash, which is never where it should be. I looked for Trevayne so I

knew what he was up to before I left to go get the dog. And to inform DH to

get his A$$ out of bed and watch the little ones. No Trevayne. Nowhere.

Uh-huh. He heard you bragging about how his wandering was under control and

he thought, in his evil little mind, " My mother is growing complacent. I

have been lazy! I must keep her on her toes! " and off he went! It was

inevitable, you know.

A moment after that Chenoa comes running back in saying that Trevayne had

run down the hill to Sandy's house (neighbor). This child is fast. It

amazes me how fast this boy can move (when he wants to). You know what I

mean if you have a wanderer. So out I go with Chenoa hot on my tail. There

is Sully batting at a tree with the pinata stick oblivious to the world or

at least this one. I See he has no jacket on just mittens (what was up with

that I have no idea).

To protect his hands from getting blisters from the pinata stick naturally.

He is chasing these dogs around like this with that freaky laugh he has

when he is in his own world. What is it with that laugh anyway???

That laugh, which I know well, is the laugh of the pure at heart who are

unworried by the concerns of this world.

I get the Toby on the leash. Chenoa runs to Trevayne and how I don't know

got him to pay attention to her. She takes his hand and brings him to me.

All the whilke reprimanding him profusely for leaving the house dressed

inappropriately and with out permission! Sully is still wacking at the

Tree. " Get in the house!!! " I yell! As id that will break into his world.

Whack Whack! " Get in the house Sully you have no jacket!! " Chenoa says to

him in her motherly tone. He stops, turns and heads for the house. Mom's

obviously not the one in charge her I think, looking at my 5 yo.

No, Chenoa is, but you make a great second in command, I am sure.

Now for Trevayne he is Shivering violently (it was 20 F if that at the

time). Lips a little purple as are his hands. Finally he says " My feet

wet. "

>

Poor baby! And how on earth did that happen?

> I get him in the house get his wet socks off. THe kid is a boysicle!

, I know this was terrible when it was going on but thank goodness

it is hilarious afterwards and you will have your sufferings held up to you

as a funny story for years to come. And, oddly enough, that is a very good

thing!
