Oops

So we had our son in church today. He was quite quiet and respectful. really on his best behavior.

His mom went up to the front for something. As she returned, I let our son go, thinking he'd meet his mom in the aisle a few feet from our pew. Oops.

He decided to head in the other direction towards the lobby. He'd made it about 20 feet before I caught up with him and brought him back. His mom immediately figured out that maybe our fidgety son needed a movement break, and she took him to our nearly sound-proof lobby where he could run in peace for a couple of minutes.

With the benefit of hindsight, her solution seems obvious. Happily our son has at least one smart parent.
