Good for Eli for knowing what to do. Let me know when he runs off on purpose and hides from you when you start searching - ah, good times! They can be slippery little suckers.

Once he scooted away through clothes racks, only to peek out as if playing hide-and-go-seek before things got out of hand. Another time he made the same move while we walked down a clothing store aisle, but he failed to re-appear. I panicked and insisted that Pop and I split up and scour the store independently; Pop warned me to stay put while he hunted. Stephen discovered that he was lost, and we only had one other incident after that--at a crafts fair in Malvern where he left the building. We're proud of Eli for knowing what to do; his father was always too interested in pursuing something that interested him to figure out what he should do. Fortunately his escapes from parental observation were brief. And the one time he realized that he was actually lost was the time that he realized that he had some responsibility in the "let's stick together" equation. Now you know, as we learned, to trust but verify. Andrew never went off on his own, but Eli’s Dad certainly did.
