So the other day my little Brocky decided to go on a little adventure. He was playing in the front yard and I was in between inside the house and the backyard planting flowers, etc. Anyway, me being the paranoid mother that I am thought I hadn't heard him for awhile...better go check on him. Well....I walk in the front yard and he is no where to be found. I didn't panic just yet... I noticed his bike gone and also that Bo was gone too...so figured they probably decided to go around the block. Although Brock is not allowed to ride his bike around the block...he has done just that thing before so figure this was one of those times. So...I did my typical....started yelling his name assuming that I would see him coming around the corner at any moment. No such luck! Still not quite to the panic stage yet... I hop in the truck and decide to run around the block...I'm sure I will see him!! Get in ... ride around the block.... come around the corner to the house and think...he will probably be in the driveway when I get there! Again NO SUCH LUCK!! So....now I'm starting to get a little more concerned! I hop in the truck again...drive down by the school...and by Terri's house....and still NO BROCK!!! Well...by this time at least 5 or 10 minutes have gone by and I'm really starting to get worried. Brock is a wild man but this is really out of character for him!!!! So ... I go back home...double check in the house again...just to make sure...NO Brock....I run outside...yell for him some more. I then notice the neighbor outside...I run over there and ask if he has seen Brock...tell him I can't find him and he then goes running down the street yelling for him...asking anyone he sees along the way if they have seen a little red-headed boy on a bike...Nope Nope Nope! I drive around some more.... stop down by the guys doing construction...they haven't seen him. By this point in time we have the one neighbor walking around looking...a construction guy riding around on a bulldozer looking....another couple in their car looking....and I've already called my husband and cried to his secretary that I can't find Brock....she interupts him in a meeting with a client to tell him....and it's for sure been at least 30 minutes and I'm a complete frantic mess. At this point I'm trying to decide in my head if he is just lost or if some crazy person has just gotten a hold of my sweet baby boy! Luckily it wasn't too much longer and I spot him and the dog down by the school....and I start screaming for him.... I'm just so thankful to see him. He explained to me that Bo ran off down the street and he followed him to try and get him back home. Well...it wasn't until today that I really ever knew how far he had actually gone. Today.... he took us on his "route"...which was all the way over to the high school..... which means he had to cross a very busy street. Which...the route made sense to Bo....he was just going the route that he and Brent run on a regular basis and Brock was just following Bo along. In fact...I asked Brock if HE decided to turn around at the school or if Bo turned around.... he said ..."well...Bo turned around and I just followed him"..... O'Thank God...if that dog had not turned around they would have ended up out by the river....I just can't believe he went as far as he did....so really.... he must have been gone longer than I even realized..... needless to say he was grounded from him bike for awhile and the poor kid thought he didn't have any freedom before....well... it's zero freedom now!! The thing is is that I'm pretty paranoid....I usually watch them like a hawk but in that short time that I let my guard down he was gone!!! Scary!!! When I got him in my arms and told him we needed to have a little talk I just broke down crying...he said "mom...why are you crying" and he just held on to me....it's just such a helpless feeling!! I'm just glad it was a good ending!!!
