My LO doesn't walk yet but I will make sure I watch him like a hawk when he does. I am sure he will be EVERYWHERE. </p> <p>Don't feel bad.... I felt super guilty too when my LO (5 month old back then) rolled / crawled off the bed - I put him in the center of the (king size) bed thinking since he doesn't know how to crawl and how to rollover I am probably OK to just run out for a second - next thing you know there was a bang and a loud cry and I rushed into the room and there was no baby on the bed. Ouch... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-had-a-heart-attack-moment#post-417207 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:52:57 +0000 Happygal 417207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Glimmersnaps--so sorry!</p> <p>My nephew ran away from me at huge department store. I turned around for 2 seconds, and he ran right into the parking lot. I admit it--I panicked. It was like a movie--every kid voice I heard, I swung around looking, hoping it was him. I was just about to grab a store clerk when my sister walked back in holding him. I burst into tears. The only thing that made me feel slightly better was knowing he had done the same thing just a few days before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-had-a-heart-attack-moment#post-417168 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:44:29 +0000 T.H.O.U. 417168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my! We haven't had this happen yet but I'm sure it will. We were at the mall and she was playing right by my feet but then she disappeared for a second. She was just around the corner but it was freaky how fast she moved without me knowing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-had-a-heart-attack-moment#post-417146 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:31:17 +0000 mediagirl 417146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have been so scared!!! We are not yet there but I fear the day that I take my eye off of her and the next minute, she's gone. ::shudder:: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-had-a-heart-attack-moment#post-417140 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:29:26 +0000 Foodnerd81 417140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't feel bad, I'm pretty sure every mom has a story like that at some point. You must have been terrified though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-had-a-heart-attack-moment#post-417135 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:28:06 +0000 Honeybee 417135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How scary! DD hasn't done this yet, but I worry all the time about her taking off... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-had-a-heart-attack-moment#post-417128 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:25:59 +0000 glimmersnaps 417128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee Seriously! And the funny thing is that he gets teased by my in-laws for being clingy/mama's boy. I wish! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-had-a-heart-attack-moment#post-416993 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 13:45:13 +0000 mrbee 416993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my goodness, that would terrify me!!</p> <p>Gonna lojack the kids soon... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-had-a-heart-attack-moment#post-416986 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 13:43:59 +0000 glimmersnaps 416986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were at the mall and DS was playing in the crowded play area. I was sitting there watching him--or so I thought-- and got distracted by a phone call from my doctor. </p> <p>I suddenly look around and realize he's not playing in the corner I thought he was. It was like slow motion. I scan all around and immediately fear he's gone for the escalators that are right there. Then a woman walks up with him by the hand. (I guess she figured that he had escaped from the play area since he wasn't wearing shoes.) </p> <p>He wasn't crying or in the least concerned that he had totally just run away. I have never been so happy to see his little face! I quickly felt humiliated when the lady disapprovingly told me that he was way far down the mall. I was just in shock! </p> <p>I can't believe that he just ran off like that. Where did he think he was going? I'm sick about it right now thinking about all the horrible things that could have happened. I feel like the Worst Mother in the World!</p> <p>Has your toddler ever scared the life out of you? </p>
