Yet another complete reversal on my parenting views since actually becoming a parent......
I used to think that using leashes on toddlers was so demoralizing and demeaning to the children. This past weekend, Cade ran away from me in two different stores while we were out running errands. He just turned two and thinks that we are playing "chase". I almost started bawling hysterically on the spot. Fortunately, some nice man helped my find him. I was so relieved and angry at the same time.
My toddler and I are traveling alone through two different airports this Friday. I'm contemplating buying a toddler leash to ensure compliance with mommy's directions. I feel really bad about this.
