Unapproved Adventures

Does anyone remember that first time your child opens the door, goes outside, and gets almost to the end of the drive before you even realize he's not in the house?  How long does it take before your blood thaws?

We were getting ready to go to dinner with our neighbors tonight.  Dallas went outside to clean out the truck.  He came back in and left the garage door open since we were leaving in a few minutes. After getting bored with me, Austin went in search of Daddy.  We heard him rattling through the house calling for Daddy.  We called out to tell him Daddy was in the bathroom.  When he didn't come back to the bathroom, we went to get him.  He had let himself out the garage door, closed the door behind himself, walked through the garage, and was on the way to the end of the drive where the truck was parked when Daddy saw him.

Within a few hours of this occurrence, we had child-proof covers on all our outside doors.
