I just have to post this so I don't forget this. What I am about to relate is 100% true and I am, honestly, still in shock from it all. . .
At the end of last week Carter and our little neighbor friend (he is a few years older than Carter) were having a great time playing. They decided to go and ride bikes. Now, since Carter is only 4, we really limit where he is allowed to ride his bike without a parent. (I know I am kind of like a helicopter parent- but he is ONLY 4!) So when the boys headed out I reminded him to stay on our street and out of the street and to let me know where he would be at all times. . . That last I knew- they were going to be at his friends house... So when his mom texted me and asked me to send him home--- you know me--- I went into FULL panic mode. Went outside and was looking up and down the street and they were no where to be seen. Now full panic mode was pushed into border line panic attack mode. . . So about30 okay 8 minutes later here came Carter down the street, dripping in sweat.
So I calmly asked him where he had been and his response was " We went to Fresh Market to get a cookie" MY JAW DROPPED. But then I calmly said, "Oh Carter you can't go that far by yourself...." I won't go into the conversation! But I will tell you that fresh market is about 1 mile from our house one way. So little man rode his bike 2 miles round trip to get a stinking cookie.
Now I am going to make sure I have cookies on hand so they don't feel like they need to ride down to get a cookie.
