Flight Risk

On Teusday Morning Corey somehow got out of the house and walked to the neighbor's house. I woke up in the morning at about 6:30. I walked up the stairs to get in the shower and found the garage doors wide open. I knew it couldn't have been Devin becasue he was still in bed. I ran to check on Corey and realized that he wasn't in his bed. Of course I freaked out and started frantically searhing for him. I was looking outside and then went back in the house with the thought that he could have been curled up in a nook somewhere and fell asleep. Then I heard a knock on the door. One of our neighbors was standing there holding Corey's hand. He asked me "Is this your kid?" I was nearly ecstatic and said yes. Of course the neighbor wanted to make sure that Corey was indeed at the right house, so he asked him "Is this your mom?" and Corey's response was "Yep." The neighbor left Corey with me and walked back to his house. A few minutes later He was knocking on the door again. He informed me that Corey had gotten to his house areound 1:00am, opened the front door and walked in and then ofund an empty bed and slept the rest of the night there. The neighbor's son got home from a date at about 1:00 and was in the bathroom brushing his teeth. Corey walked in and said hi. The guy just assumed that his parents were watching Corey for someone although he had never seen Corey before. He took Corey and laid him down and he went to bed. The neighbor was getting ready for work the next morning and Corey wlaked up the stairs and said hi. He had no idea who Corey was and where he had come from. He walked Corey back outside and asked him if he knew where his house is. Thankfully Corey knows what our house looks like. I was ready to have a heart attack!!! He unlocked the deadbolt, reached up and opened the garage door, and walked a block away. Not only that, but he walked into a complete stranger's house and slept in someone's bed! AHHHH!All I can say is that he is deffinately his father's son!

Crazy little guy! I still can't believe he would even go outside in the middle of the night. I wonder if he tried to get in any other houses before he made it inside of that one? Anyway, so glad he's safe!!!
