So tonight the Moore family thought we would get out of the house and head to Cabela's. Well, that is Major's FAVORITE place, it is his candy store..."Mom look at this, What is that, Lets go see this and that..." He runs to every new place we go.
Tonight our trip went from normal to an "OH CRAP" moment. Major and I were looking for Daddy and we found him in the dressing room, Sean asked me a question and for a second my focus was off Major...oops...I turned around he wasn't there. I looked behind the rack, nope...called his name, nothing... heard another child, thought it was him, no...Then I went straight to the fish tanks at the front of the store and he was sitting on some sort of tackle box just talking to himself and was about to get up when I called his name. He looked up with this "What Mom?" look, like everything is OK. I just picked him up and went back to the dressing room and sat down, I didn't know what to do or say.
Sean talked to him for a bit and when I came to my senses, I asked if he has learned about strangers at school? The answer was No, so I proceed to explain that sometimes they seem nice, but can be mean and take you away. I wasn't trying to scare him, but his little eyes welled up with tears, he looked up at me and said, "BUT MOM, GOD WILL ALWAYS BE WITH ME." !!! I mean as a parent what do you say to that? He crawled in my lap and I just gave him the biggest hug. After all the commotion, we made our way to get a snack and then head home.
I love the challenges that we face and the lessons we learn. The innocence of a child is such a great gift.
