The Journeyman

     The Webster Dictionary says that a journeyman is a worker who has learned a trade and works for another person or an experienced reliable worker.  I have came up my own definition for journeyman:  A man, or 2 year old, on a journey.
     I have 3 children:  one hyperactive, one sneaky, and one that likes to go on journeys.  The one that likes to go on journeys is my 2 year old, named Ethan.  Ethan likes to give us a fright.  He will wait for the right moment to make his escape. 
     His journeys started out close by the home.  He has been found behind the house, wearing a diaper and boots standing under a gutter in the rain.  He has been found at the silage pit looking for grandpa.  Then he has been found up at the grandparent's home which is 3/10 of a mile away.
     You are probably thinking that this child's parents are not watching home or paying any attention to him.  It only takes him a minute to get a way.  If you got up from playing with this child, go to the potty room to pee, come back to the living room, the journeyman will be gone.                              
                                                Running as fast as his little legs can carry him!

Being the wise parents we are, lol, we have found a solution.  A must have for any family that has their own little "journeyman!"
