Running Away

Enoch gave Mom quite a scare today. While in the shower (a quick 5-minute shower), Enoch disappeared. Mom looked everywhere in the house and backyard. Then she noticed some small boot prints in the snow on the driveway (luckily it was barely snowing). She followed the boot prints all the way to Mortensen’s before she saw Enoch walk around the corner with a strange women. Enoch was wearing his jammies, boots, coat and backpack. This kind woman said she saw him by the reservoir pond by himself and thought that wasn’t right. Enoch was cold and wanted to go home and he was showing her the way home. He was on his way to school to find Gavin. For days after he kept telling us, “Enoch run, car back up”. Apparently he knows not to talk to strangers, but not to walk to the school by himself!
