Little Man's early morning walk...

We had a interesting visit on Saturday morning. It was just before seven am and Alan and I had just woke up and where enjoying being lazy and the house was so quite. At about 6:58 am our doorbell rang. We throw on our bath robes and go down stairs to answer the door. Much to our surprise standing there was our friend Sargent Solice. He says to us, I have something that belongs to you. Then Little Man came around the corner. We could not believe it. We didn't even know he was gone. Sgt. Solice found Little Man out on the major road near our house. He decided that he was running away. He had with him his sisters rolling pink suitcase, packed with clothes and $2.00, and his backpack filled with books and a few toys. We could not believe it. We thanked Sgt. Solice and took Little Man in for a very long talk. I am happy to say that we where able to get to the bottom of the problem and are working with him. I am very thankful that it was our friend who found him. We would of had much bigger problem if anyone else had found him. We talk to Sgt. Solice later that day and he said that he was just getting off shift when he saw this little boy walking all by him self down the street. He said his first thought was on no, this is going to take awhile. Then as he got closer he realized it was Little Man. He said his next thought was oh, how adorable. He stopped and asked Little Man where he was going, he said Wal-Mart. Sgt. Solice asked Little Man to get into the car with him so they could talk. Little Man told him he was having a bad day and was not happy that he only had 2 sisters. He doesn't like that they play together and leave him out. The worst thing is that we didn't even know that Little Man was gone. He left long before we woke up. We are now looking into a system that will beep whenever a door or window is opened. We know that this is a very serious problem, however now that it is over we are laughing at the humor in the situation. It was cute. We asked why he was going to Wal-Mart? He said to buy something and to try to find a brother to bring home. Oh what to do? Hopefully our talk with him will get through to him. We will see.
