I thought this was a neat post
(click here) about the process a parent goes through when trying to figure out at what age to cut the kids loose in the neighborhood. I can relate because Mia regularly asks if they can run around the block. It's actually a really small block, more of an 1/4 block with 8 houses total on the inside of the circle facing out and about 25 around the outside facing in. Anyway, it's interesting because they do go out of sight for a while and you just kind of sit there waiting for what seems an eternity for them to pop out around the corner. One time I sent Mia and Coop around with the two way radio and it was really humorous to hear her check in all official and stuff.
*bebeep* Dad?
*beep* Yes, Mia.
*bebeep* Can you hear me?
*beep* Yes, Mia.
*bebeep* Cooper wants to say something.
*beep* Ok.
*bebeep* ired
*beep* What Coop?
*bebeep* I'm tir...give it to me...*bepbeepbeepbep* He said he's tired
*beep* All right, just come home then.
*bebeep* Ok.
And so on......
On Saturday, Coop decided he might get hungry along the way (which he probably would because he's ALWAYS hungry). So he got a box of Wheat Thins to-go.
