disappearing twins...

yesterday we went to the warehouse in lyall bay..which is huge.

Valentino in the pram, and the twinz walking as usual since they have preferred to walk rather than sit in the pram for as long as I can remember.

they are usually very good at listening and staying close to us in case they get lost, and today was no different.

until all of a sudden they did one of those telephatic twin things, and simultaneously decided to run off at full speed... in opposite directions!

so off we run trying to catch them before they destroy the shop.

after 30 seconds we get Antonio, but we have no idea where Leonardo got to.
I think hes bound to be hiding, as thats his favourite new game.
so we keep looking but after a couple of minutes he still hasnt shown up.

i start to worry maybe he ran outside, so go have a look, but the guard says he didnt see him, but he'll check the video camera for us anyway.
we keep looking, and about 10 minutes have gone by by now. Carole is very worried and i start to think maybe someone has grabbed him or something. we look through the whole shop but cant find him!

then out of a door by the checkouts, an employee has him by the hand coming towards us. Leonardo looks very guilty and avoids eye contact.

Turns out he had gone up a flight of concrete steps to the first floor where the workers had found him and he had been painting pictures with them because they had thought it was too dangerous to send him back down the stairs.

next time we go out hes wearing a leash!
