Stranger Danger

I went shopping for Fathers Day at the mall today with the Kids. I WILL NOT make the mistake of taking Caiden with me EVER again! He doesn't care about getting lost, falling down/up the escalator, or when I say, "okay, bye Caiden, we're leaving you!" On the other hand, Addysin was an angel. She stayed right by me. It helps that she is totally afraid of Strangers. Strangers are people that take kids, steal your stuff, come in your house while your sleeping, and anyone you dont know is a stanger! That is not how we explained it to her, but she has pieced together all of the things we've been telling her lately about staying safe. This is what she has formed in her head. Today at the mall food court a lady came and cleaned the table next to her and it scared her. But the girl at the store that helped us "is a nice stranger". If you know Addysin, this is not surprising. She is a very cautious little girl, and always has been. Even when she was a year old, if you told her something was scary she would NOT do it again. Maybe our next child will be somewhere in between Addysin and Caiden.

Well, after being at the mall too long and losing my patience 50 times (seriously), I got what I came for. Thats the thing about living 25 minutes from the mall- there is no coming back tomorrow. And the kids got an ice cream cone. I dont know how Caiden deserved that. Being a cutie pays off, I guess. He is a giant stinker.
