The scariest thing in the world happened
today. Ok, maybe not IN THE WORLD, but boy was I scared. I lost
Lex in the grocery store. He was looking at a book display on
one side of an end cap and I went around to the other side to
grab something and when I turn back he was gone! Lex is usually
VERY good about staying nearby. I walked up and down the back
of the store a few times looking up the aisles, then turned to
the guy behind the meat counter and said “I lost my baby!” The
guy said “really?” and that’s when I started crying. He was out
of his gloves and apron in no time and seconds later they had a
“code” something announcing over the loud speaker. All the
employees were looking and lots of customers. I must have been
quite a spectacle. Eve just sat in the cart looking around. A
short time later (it felt like forever but it was probably just
a few minutes) the pharmacist came over with Lex right beside
him. Lex said “I didn’t see you and I was looking for you.” The
pharmacist said Lex was helping him clean up. Lex does like to
clean :) Everyone was super nice and the pharmacist said that
they keep a very close eye on kids that don’t seem to have a
parent nearby. In my rational mind I knew that its very
unlikely that someone took him, but emotionally it was just
plain scary! Our afternoon activity is to make a plan for what
to do in that situation again. Like stay put!
