Ray, Thomas and I went to the mall with Sydney last week. As we are heading to Newport Beach in a few weeks, Sydney and I were both looking for swimsuits. After choosing a few we headed to the dressing rooms. Thomas sat on a bench and Ray was in the stroller. Sydney and I each tried on a suit then exited the room to show each other. We then returned to our dressing rooms. We tried on another set of suits. This time, as I was returning to the room, Ray discovered he was not strapped in, and he bolted. He ran into the store as fast as he could. I called to the worker nearest to us that he was leaving, and that I would be right there. I asked Sydney if she could take Thomas, but she was completely naked in her room, so I threw on my shirt and chased after Thomas, who had by now crawled halfway out of the store. I could see the saleswomen herding Ray and headed that direction. He is fast. They herded him towards me and I almost caught him, but not quite. He ran all the way out of the store (into the mall) and I followed. Of course, the alarm went off, as the suit I had on was tagged. A few feet out of the store I caught him, and dragged him back to the dressing room, where a worked had a bag of popcorn to give him as a way to keep him still. Can you picture it? Me, half-naked, carrying Thomas, chasing Ray, who of course is laughing at the top of his lungs.
I did not buy the suit.

Oh, Alyssa, that is so funny!
That is exactly why I rarely leave the house. If you didn't laugh you would have to cry. You're the best.
I'm sorry! That sounds horrific but hilarious at the same time!! What we go through to be a mom.:-)
But in the end it brought laughter. That is a good thing.
I am so sad I was not there to help corral the boys. I found a cute suit at divinemodestee.com
