I just had the most crazy scare in my life! Ryder and myself where up at the Highline Community College Tennis courts thats has a private walk park and pond. We where up there playing tag and letting the dogs run when Ryder wanted to play Hide and Seek. So being the fun dad I am (LOL) I went along, he hid then I found him. I hid and he found me. Then he went to hide and I couldn't find him. So I was running around trying to find my 3 1/2 year old son. Calling his name and looking under every tree branch and every place I think he could hide. But no answer, laugh or even a cry. Tears started to come to me and I then went into survival mode and grabbed everyone I could to help me find him. After 20 minutes of looking I was on the phone with the police and look who comes running up the street, with no coat on and a smile on his face?!?!?!? Ryder. Whew I was relived and all I could do was laugh. Ryder kept telling me that he told me he would come back. I asked him where he went? He told me he went home and crawled in bed. But when I didn't show up he went to find me. WTF!!! My 3 1/2 year old walked home a block and went in the house grabbed a juice and climbed in bed, while daddy was running wild and calling for him. All I could do is laugh at him and tell him how scarred I was.
So after all the hype and my heart rate became normal I sat him down and talked to him, but how do you explain to a 3 year old about this. I called his mom and had her talk to him also. I hope he gets it, since I don't know how I can handle this scenario again!
The moral to this story is my 3 1/2 year old son is smarter and knows more than I. LOL Well at least I know he knows where we live and that he can get in the house! BTW the front door was locked and he had to go around back.
Today we are staying indoors and enjoying each others company.
Have a fabulous day,
