Kid on a leash........

TEMPTING....especially as we gear up for a great trip with a lot of great experiences and the little guy ran away from me today...I was terrified, so terrified that I thought this would be a good idea...

(not my kid)

but then I realized that putting my kid on a leash really isn't right (degrading, constricting)...even if he runs away and thinks it's a game as I frantically chase him.

Check this out: Another Mom's Perspective  and ABC's "What Would You Do" (as we watched this Van says,"Is dat Cafornia?) haha

So....I promise I won't leash him...even though it's tempting ;)  Rather, I will teach him about the seriousness of safety and let him explore under a watchful eye.
