To Leash or not to leash....





People get all crazed about this choice that parents have. Some feel its a horrible sight to see a child with a leash where some see it as a child with a safety line. I have lived in some pretty interesting areas and have seen horrible things in the news. There's nothing worse in the world than a missing child. I still have this nightmare where my son and I are in a city with tons of people trying to cross the streets...chaos. I see him, hes right there, I reach for him and as I do a lady in red capris and a white tank grabs him running for a side street. I chase her and find myself panicking not seeing any sign of either of them....I wake up crying. I wake up Satanta and tell him my horrible dream and he says, "No she didn't take him. Remember I was there and I got him back." 

The point is sometimes a hand isn't strong enough to hold on to the most precious thing you have. Why not use whatever you can to protect your child and keep living your life. After all we cant be hermits and lock them up inside to protect them. Wheres the quality of life when over sheltering?
I'm not sure what I will do yet when my Mia is running circles around me but what I do know is that I will do whatever it takes to protect her. Ill let you over protective parents know when they come out with a kid chip ;)
