Lost

Tuesday morning as we are trying to leave Mom time, the kids were being difficult. As I would get Dash's coat on, Sammie would take hers off. So since Dash was being the most difficult, instead of fighting with him, I choose to take the girls to the van after asking him to walk with us SEVERAL times. In the past, all it has taken is me to walk away and he will follow me. So I walked out of the church into the parking lot keeping an eye on the door waiting for Dash to come out. I got both girls in their seats and still now sight of Dash. So, I left the girls in the car and went in to get Dash. When I walked in the doors, he looked so sad and scared while talking with his teachers.  Mrs. Deboth told me that he was so scared and I responded with a "good". I know that sounds harsh, but I knew where he was and I knew he was safe. When he saw me, he just looked down with his sad puppy dog eyes and said, "mama, you lost me." I explained to him that for that reason when I say lets go, that you need to obey and stay close to mommy. "I love you and I dont want you to get lost. Dash, I knew where you were and I knew you were safe, but sometimes that is not the case. Dash it is really important for you to come and follow me." He acted as if he got it and forgave me for "losting him" but I did hear about it for the rest of the morning. I thought for sure Ryan would hear about it when he got home, but that wasnt the case. Hopefully something sank in!
