A Hard Lesson Learned

Yesterday at the supermarket we got a free latex balloon during check-out. Keagan was holding it himself- refusing to let me hold part of the string or have it tied at all. As I was putting the food into the car (Keagan still in the cart seat), the balloon suddenly took flight. Keagan's lip curled and I thought I was in for a serious cry, but remarkably, with some talking through it was watching it fly higher and higher, Keagan kept it together. He said a couple funny things actually. One was "balloon fly home" and the other, when a plane flew past "airplane get balloon!" He was saddened by the event, but handled it very well. It's a tough lesson, but one I think you just have to go through to learn.
