I had a "runner" when I was 8 months preggers with my (now 11 yo) son. Every day I warned him...stay with the group or go in the cart. Every day, he took off, and 8 m pregnant me is chasing him down the block...ugh..

He's only one of two children I have ever terminated for behavior (the other was a 20 lb 4 mo who only nursed...and cried for 4 days solid).

N is now 13, and his mom and I are facebook friends (they now live in TX). Apparently, he's been in a Gifted and Talented program for most of school. Duh...he was smarter than I am!
