castiron: cartoony sketch of owl (Default)

When Oldest was two, he ran out of the front yard and halfway down the street without me noticing while I was right there in the front yard doing yardwork and frequently looking up to see what he was doing. Fortunately the across-the-street neighbor saw him go and immediately got my attention, so I was able to catch him before he was out of sight.

So I'm not going to judge someone for losing track of a toddler because of thirty seconds of inattention.

I do judge both Justin and LW for not cluing in that managing a grill isn't compatible with herding a two-year-old. Watching a toddler and watching the grill so the food doesn't burn: pick one.
