and it's really only Wednesday

sooo to catch those of you up that don't follow my mess on twitter...

I get to daycare facility on Monday to pick up Frodo (read Jake... however remember the previously blogged about forest incident ~ ok you see where I'm going then!)... they take the little tag that is supposed to ensure no one picks him up... he is where he is supposed to be safely locked away until he is released into the loving care of well... ME. I'm waiting and waiting as my son has 2 speeds ~ slow and slower!

He arrives... and is standing next to a police office ~ I joke 'You're not with him are you?' ~ officer 'Are you Jake's mom?'

YEAH... NICE right...

So Frodo was not happy with another child at daycare and knowing that inflicting bodily harm would NOT fare him well... he decided to pack up his coloring... grab his back pack and walk home.

Let me explain ~ Daycare is on east side of the major N/S interstate... the VERY NICE Officer picked my child up on the west side of the majoy N/S interstate and one exit South (closer to our home... he does in fact know how to get home from daycare!)

Yes ~ every possible emotion one can feel in the matter of 10 minutes I had... some I didn't even know you could have!!!

He is fine because as he pointed out... he stayed on the grass the entire time! In fact, he's rather puzzled as to what he did that was so wrong. Well Frodo, there are a whole slew of awful people that could have picked you up and tried to make you their own ~ 'Mom, I left daycare, I would leave them too... I'm ALWAYS going to be with you!!!'

The police officer was extremely nice and puzzled why my fearless, independent child was not afraid of walking along a major freeway but seemed terrified of a police officer ~ OOPS... The Daycare facility is now being investigated by the state ~ I did what I don't do and marched in there and said "ummmmm yeah he shouldn't have left ~ but really y'all were supposed to be watching and he walked right out the front door ~ wtf!!!" I was a bit more eloquent than that and there were a lot more tears.

Fun Times... ugh
