Today Alex decided to run away. While doing time in "time out" he concocted a plan. He packed some clothes in his pillowcase and then with Katrina's help loaded another pillowcase up with snacks. With a plan and supplies he walked 10 yards to his friend's house, Gracie, next door. The neighbors were not home to welcome him into his new home so he decided to wait it out on the porch. At this point Cynthia decided she wanted to live with Gracie too and packed her pillowcase with supplies to run away. Alex and Cynthia hung out on the neighbors porch laying on pillows and eating Valentine candy. Cynthia soon chickened out once the sun started going down and it got cooler. Katrina acts as the liaison, keeping us up to date on the situation and his needs. He came home for dinner and to use the potty. Life on the streets is hard for a five year old on Valentines day.
