Lost child

Had one of those horrible mummy moments today! You know those ones where your heart sinks, you feel sick with panic?? Yep, recognise it? Well my delightful 6 year old, Jacob decided that it would be better to frighten me by disappearing at the park than to tell me he had fallen over and rolled in mud (with his school clothes on.) One minute he was there, the next he was GONE!!! Emilie and Sam were on the swings, Rebekah was skipping around the park and Jacob was....GONE!! I couldnt see him anywhere. I was worried, panicked, angry, worried some more, feeling sick, concerned....sent Rebekah to the larger play park to check if he was there, but as I watched her wander and showing no signs of seeing him, I pulled the 2 children out the swings, clipped Emilie in her buggy, ran over to the large play area, looked behind me shouting Jacobs name......................................................................................................................................................


........................and there he was!!! Phew! Didnt even notice the mud!! Was just so relieved to see him.

He had been hiding behind the bin so he didnt get into trouble for being covered in mud! I think we both learned a few lessons this afternoon. However, I did get some cute pictures of Emilie (and Rebekah) laughing on the swing :)
