Keep the little ones close

Thoughts and prayers are with this family. Children are so very fast that they can be gone within a minute. When my son was 4, we finished eating outside. I took the dishes into the pop-up, laid them down, went out and he was gone. The neighbor across told me immediately that DS had ridden his big wheel up the hill. I ran after him terrified. I always thought I was overly careful and it still happened. Needless to say big wheel was locked and DS spent a great deal of time sitting on his bed - and I will admit with a rather warm bottom.
