Today was kindergarten S.O.S. (someone special day) day at school. All of the children got to invite someone special to come visit them at school for a couple of hours. I was able to go up to the school with Aiden. All the classrooms had different centers set up with Thanksgiving crafts that the students and parents could make together. It was lots of fun, especially when Aiden saw me and yelled out excitedly "hi, mama!", that made my day. It was also funny to see him interact with the other kids. He couldn't get through a project without running off to say hi to one his friends. Aiden got out of school early, so I decided to take him, Ava, and Laila to McDonalds for lunch. We ate in the indoor playground. While we were there Ava had to go to the bathroom and I took with to the bathroom in the play area. Of course she had to go number two, and it took forever! With all the chaos of trying to help her while holding a baby, I forgot about Aiden playing on the playground alone. When we got out Aiden was no where to be seen and there was no one else around. At first I though he was hiding, so I called his name several times, still no Aiden, I looked around, still no Aiden. Then I remember the 2 shady characters who were sitting close by the play area, and noticed they had left with their trash still on the table, like they had left in a hurry. Oh boy, I though Aiden had been tricked to come outside with them and had been abducted. Just as I was about to run screaming through McDonalds or call 911, he shows up smiling and said , "Oh, I thought you went to the other bathroom, I went in there to wait." We will not be going to McDonalds to play for a long time!

So glad Aiden was "found". Nothing strikes terror more in a mother's heart than when you can't find a child. He is so cute in his Indian outfit. what a day! That's what gives you grey hairs.
Aiden looks good in his thanksgiving getup! Scary that you lost him for a bit, but glad it all turned out ok. I can't even imagine what that felt like!
how scary! i'm sure you must have really panicked when you didn't see him. glad he was ok!
