We think it will never happen to us. We think that when we are parents it will be different. I have news for you...It probably will happen and as much as you want to be the different one chances are you still won't be different.
The other day we went to the park for a movie in the park night hosted by South Ogden City. The movie was great and we were having so much fun. Kaily was dancing and making friends, she was being a really good girl. Conner was great too. The evening was going great until Clint looked down at our blanket and there she wasn't. He asked me if I knew where she had gone, but I freaked out as soon as I looked down and saw for myself she was gone. We immediately started looking around and asking everyone around us if they had seen where she had gone. I felt so guilty b/c just moments before she was gone she asked if she could sit on my lap and I said no b/c I needed to feed Conner. We've been having jealousy issues. Clint ran to find a Police man and I walked around with Conner in my arms calling for her. We both went to the nearby playground, the bathroom and any where else we could think of. I prayed that she would be ok and that we would be able to find her. A nice lady then jumped up and ran to the baseball fields a few min. later she came back holding Kaily in her arms. I don't know who that woman was, but I am very grateful she listened to the spirit in behalf of frantic parents. She handed Kaily over to the Police man and then the Police man handed her over to me and Clint. I was crying so hard. I was so scared and all the "what-if's" had gone through my head. I quickly handed Conner over to Clint and took Kaily in my arms and refused to let her go the rest of the night. I asked her why she left with out telling anyone where she was going and she said, as only a 3 yr old can truly say, " I just wanted to look around and I wasn't lost I was just over there." She pointed to where the lady had found her. Needless to say, we have had MANY talks about why we don't leave Mommy and Daddy since then. I never thought I would be in that situation, but now that I have been I can tell you there is not a fear I have felt that compares to that. I pray that you will never have to go through the same thing, but if you do, God bless you.
I know this is early, but I don't think I'll be blogging this week, so HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY! In sacrament mtg today they had people who either had family searving or they were searing in the militay. It was so go
od to hear such wonderful testimonies of the great nation that we live in. I am so thankfull for our freedoms. So many have died so that we can be free. I know things are perfect, but I know that there is not another place in this world I would rather live. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!
having watched it i have come to the conclusion that I am raising a Martian Child. Every day Kaily comes up with a new way to say things, a new way to express herself or a gives things names that clearly aren't their names. She is constantly making up her own language, especially when she's upset with one of us. I think this is one of her ways of handling the situation with Conner. Her jealousy has gotten a little out of control as of late. Conner thinks she is hilarious, as he should, but it just encourages her to do it all the more. The other day we were at the park and she was dancing around, like she always does, only this time she tried out some new moves. They were really funny and I wish I could find my camera so that I could have taken pics of it. She really does make us laugh all the time and her tantrums, while they are not getting better, are getting less frequent. I really do love this age. She is trying so hard to be adult like and yet so much of her is VERY 3. It makes it hard to remember what age she really is. So, if she wants to be a Martian or whatever else it may be from day to day let her be it. Who am I to squelch the blooming imagination of my daughter, the martian child.
