Oh, she is smart and capable, but she thinks it's a fun game to run off while you try to catch her, get her to stop, yell at her, etc. And she has NO sense of danger. I'm hoping we can teach her soon. <br /><br />I'm SOOOOOOO glad that Graham was okay. I totally understand your yelling at him, and I would do the same.caramamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02327695885346537321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-454432385331536006.post-29903242816120634392009-06-23T14:20:11.163-04:002009-06-23T14:20:11.163-04:00I am crying just reading this.

(He lost his hat while crossing the street. It was Bloor, at rush hour, and I grabbed him back with seconds to spare. 8 years later I tear up thinking about it.) They all do it, and we all yell at them and if we are lucky we scare the hell out of them enough that they never ever do it again.<br /><br />Feel free to keep talking calmly about it every time you go to cross a road or near a parking lot.Aureliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691032415028867902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-454432385331536006.post-76203624698522874912009-06-22T09:49:22.972-04:002009-06-22T09:49:22.972-04:00Oh god.

I reacted like you did, with hysterical fear and speeches about how this could kill him. It made such an impression (this was nearly two years ago, when he was only 2 1/2) that to this day, he gets teary eyed when he mentions the incident. He will NEVER put a plastic bag on his head again. My bet is that Graham will never dash off in a parking lot again either.MommyTimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12860003098383600806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-454432385331536006.post-21228921720319178892009-06-20T22:00:24.294-04:002009-06-20T22:00:24.294-04:00I'm crying 'cause your ost is bring back m...I'm crying 'cause your ost is bring back memories of a time I yelled like that before. Yelled until i peed my pants, literally. Then I continued to yell some more - Sierra fell into our backyard pool carrying 3 noodles trying to help me clean it. The pool is 9 ft deep. Thankfully, I was a NLS certified lifguard back the day, and knew exactly what do. <br /><br />Graham will get over the emotional pain - and I am sure he will never do that again. Sierra now holds Brooke's hand and makes sure she stays on the grass when we're doing stuff in the backyard.Janice @ Mom On The Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13311920958711176636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-454432385331536006.post-56991708315063590182009-06-20T16:14:45.610-04:002009-06-20T16:14:45.610-04:00That is scary!
