It's always a change in routine that seems to spark these kinds of incidents - as you said, usually putting the diaper bag there but didn't, usually unbuckling Benjamin but didn't, etc. I've heard so many horror stories that I double- and triple-check myself sometimes to make sure I didn't forget someone somewhere!Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11339936940500165901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-41088470123875054052015-12-19T21:31:10.159-05:002015-12-19T21:31:10.159-05:00There was that time when Lisa T. left her baby (An...There was that time when Lisa T. left her baby (Anthony) in the car with the car locked and running and I was all like "What an idiot!" until the day that I left Patrick in the car with the car locked and running. AARGH!!!! <br /><br />I really liked the example that is in Creativity Inc by Ed Catmull. Both parents worked for him. They had a super important deadline for a film project, so Mom went in to work early. Dad was supposed to take baby to daycare (usually mom's job) but he was so consumed about thinking about work (important deadline!) so he forgot her had baby with him. A couple of hours later, Mom sticks her head in dad's office and asked "How did it go taking baby to daycare?" Dad about flipped!!! Baby was fine--it was a wake-up call to Ed Catmull that they NEVER should have deadlines that are so important that they mess with the minds and lives of the employees. Well. He told the story much better than I did--read the book for the good version of the story.<br /><br />Also, I "lost" Nancy herself in the church one Sunday. I laid her down to sleep while the primary was in the chapel, left her laying there sleeping while running around doing primary stuff, and forgot where she was.

But one Saturday, I went to get something out of the car, and the 18 month old followed me out. I didn't register that she had gotten in, and went back in the house. Luckily, my subconscious mind noticed that she was missing and reminded me of where she was fairly quickly. I've also forgotten that my kids or neighbor kids were in the house. That's made for some fun times.Sharaun Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16478974234741144812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-33055303227194837272015-12-19T13:11:58.664-05:002015-12-19T13:11:58.664-05:00I never forgot a child but we've lost a child ...I never forgot a child but we've lost a child 5 times. My kids like to wander. Luckily they were always found without any harm, but raising kids is not for the faint of heart!Cryshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08093625438383031052noreply@blogger.com
