Today Livy decided to do a little exploring without anyone else. She scared me a lot, even though at first I didn't know she was missing. We are in New York at my parents house now and my dad had Rachel and Colt in the hot tub, my mom had Danny on the swings and I was getting Colt's bath ready. Livy had been in the living room watching tv and playing on Hannah's Nintendo DS for the past half hour. I had asked her a few times if she wanted to go in the hot tub with Rachel and Grandpa but she said no. And there is a block party going on up the block a ways, but not in front of our house. Well, as I am getting out Colt's pajamas out I hear the dj at the block party say "Olivia, Jessica." The dj is loud so I can hear it in our house. I think, oh that's weird that's our names. Then the next thing he says is "Will the mother of Olivia please come up here." I run to check on Livy and she is not on the couch anymore. Panic. I bust out the door and run up the block and once they see me running that way they start walking to me with Livy. She had went out the front door to see what all the noise was out there. She wandered over there and people brought her to the dj booth. Luckily from the time I realized she was missing to the time she was found was really short because I might have had a heart attack. It took me a long time for my heart to stop beating like crazy and to get over the anxiety. But I am glad to report that Livy is fine and it didn't phase her at all. Unfortunately that means it didn't scare her and she might try something like that again. Sweet little Livy. She sure frazzled me for the whole night and I feel terrible that she even got out there. Bad mom for sure. But I really had just seen her on the couch two minutes before that. Just wanted to remind myself what a precious little girl she is and how much I love her. I love you Livy and your sweet, curious, and wandering personality! So grateful to our Heavenly Father for how he watches over us and that this was such a small scare.

I'm glad she's okay and that you found her quick. I think Halli was the same age when she left our house and ran down to your house after it was dark...remember that? You might have to get a lock for the door up high!
Brooklyn sleeps walks. One night Robb woke up and found her opening up the front door to go outside. We tripled the locks on that door. The other day KK ran away in Target. I couldn't catch her darting through the clothes racks! I had 4 people looking for. Then Brooklyn told me how to find her. Brooklyn screamed," KK if you want a pink sprinkled donut you need to come back!" The next thing hear are little feet running to us from the back of the store saying "I is coming, I is coming. Me want a donut!" Grrr! ps. she did not get a donut :)
Oh, I'm sorry Jessica! That is the worst feeling!! I'm glad it you found her right away.
Hope you're having tons of fun!
Look at you Miss Blogger. :) Yay! You are getting way more blogging done in NY... I love it. :) SO SCARY!! My heart stopped just reading the title of this post. I'm just thankful there was a block party going on with DJ to be able to call for Olivia's mom.... what a blessing. So happy she was found!
