LOST BOY!
So TJ got lost for the first time ever at Walmart yesterday. It was horrible! One second he was next to us and the next he was gone! We were looking for baby clothes and he walk around one of the clothes racks, got confused and ran off (seriously he ran) to find us because he "thought we went home without him". I heard his quick footsteps and said, "TJ what are you doing?" thinking he was playing. When he didn't answer we started looking for him. He was no where in sight! Within the few minutes he was missing I was crying and frantic. Josh went toward toys and I looked to see if he was hiding in the baby furniture. I had just stopped to tearfully tell an employee that he was missing when I hear over the intercom, "Amanda your son is waiting for you at the service desk." Now I'm sobbing with relief. Josh and I hurried up to the front of the store and when we got to him he was sitting on a bench next to one of the workers, scared and sobbing too. Poor guy. When he saw us he ran up to me and We just held each other, I couldn't stop crying and kissing him. Needless to say it was traumatic for both of us and I don't think he will be doing that ever again.

I'm sorry!! That is so scary! When I worked in retail we always found lost children and their poor parents were so scared :( Glad to hear everything is okay

Yeah, I worked in retail too and we had one lady who lost her little ones every time she came in and I swore I would never loose my child on a store. I'm always so careful to know right where he is and keep him by me. It just happened so dang fast! Guess I shouldn't have been so quick to judge others ;) awe well. Thanks.
