It really helped them communicate before they could speak and now they still like to sing along and do the signs. My three kids all love the Signing Time DVDs and books.

That is pretty scary that for less than five minutes something could happen like that. It's sad that you have to watch out for danger every second and your own backyard isn't safe anymore. Hello Fellow Squid,

My youngest is now 10, but I was always so careful when they were little as I was terrified of something like that happening. Even now I don't let me 10 year old play alone outside if no one can see her. I sometimes wondered if I was just being neurotic. Your story reminds me I was not. Oh my gosh – that gives me chills!!

This post is horrifying. My child is grown, but when he was a toddler and child, he was not out of my sight. When we went out in public, he used to run and hide from me, so I put a kid leash on him. Parents would be shocked, but I told them I only had one and wanted to keep him. ;-) In Houston a young child went missing in a K-Mart. The mother noticed immediately and went to the front of the store to management. They locked the doors and searched the store. They found the child with a woman in the bathroom. That child was already dressed in different clothes, had a haircut and was fixing to get a haircut. I think if he was small now, I would have a geo chip implanted in him. As they get older you can get them a cell phone with locater feature that tells you not only where the child is now, but also where they have been that day. It is hard raising kids nowadays. I grew up in Houston and roamed at will because both my parents worked. I never had problems. Its a different world. Hello, you visited my blog so I followed you back here to your website.
