I took the DSs to school on Friday morning and DS3 scampered off to play on the slide as usual. I took my eye off him for what felt like a very short space of time to talk to one of the mums of DS2's classmates - then looked over at the slide = no DS3.
I had kittens as I was scared he had gone back out of the gate and tried to cross the road to our side of the street. I had other parents haring off in all directions to look for him. Was very scared.
Anyway (and I should have guessed this) when the Autism Resource Base teacher opened the door of the Base ready to greet the Base pupils who were just arriving on the bus, she found DS3 pasted up against the door trying to get in! (He's not in the Base, he's in the nursery, but he loves the Base.)
I was so relieved. It was horrible when I realised I couldn't see him. Just horrible.
