Lo used to be wonderful at walking by my side and holding my hand, but recently he has taken great delight in running away from me.
He can run really fast and be gone in a flash. I am pregnant and can't run that quick and I am so so paranoid about losing him/ him running out into the road etc... He finds it all a big game. I do tell him off, make him do time out, or go home if its really bad, but the message hasn't been delivered and I guess the penalty doesn't outweigh the sheer delight in running away from mummy!
I think I am going to have to put him on some reins for when he decides to make a break for it, but he is very tall for his age and most say up to the age of three. Does anyone know of any larger reins? Or would a wrist strap be better?
Any advise greatly appreciated
