"He's getting away!"

Friday afternoon I watched the son of a pregnant friend while she went to a doctor appointment. It was fun watching him. He's a sweet boy, very well-behaved, and the girls just loved him. They all had so much fun playing.

They had so much fun, in fact, that when his mom came back to pick him up the preschooler got very upset. As they went out the door to their car she was crying, begging him to come back and play.

In desperation she finally turned to me to save the day. "Mommy, he's getting away!"

I told her father later that she's going to be a real terror when she starts dating if she's already thinking like that!
