The Williamson Wildlings: Day 31-Making my Heart skip a beat!

So as you can tell by some of my other blog posts my daughter is quite "Adventurous!" She keeps me on my toes and there's always something new and different she does everyday! Today she decided to push and open our outside gate outside. She wiggled it back and forth until it opened. Let me preface that she went through 3 things in order to finally be free. One Gate located to get out of her room, One front door that was LOCKED but again she wiggled it until it unlocked(we've always had a problem with our front door and they have tried to fix and replace it) and then the gate leading to the rest of the world. I realized that she was gone again, after I got out of the shower. I noticed that she put her portable potty right next to the gate in her room. So when she didn't answer when I called I went into her room and looked around the house. The front door was closed so I didn't think she went outside. But I finally realized that she was loose when I saw the white gate open outside(pic 3). I quickly got some clothes on and ran outside without shoes. Remember those blisters I got like the first day of doing my blog? She ran out that day too and that's how I really got those blisters. So again, I now have blisters on my feet but also so thankful that I found her. I was power walking all around the apt complex which is quite big. There are 2 sides of complexes and several different units all within the area. We are familiar with going to the pool and I Often let her run to the gate by the pool so I figured I would start there. I walked and walked and walked and finally found her in a neighbors patio talking to herself carrying a bunch of pop-tabs and rocks she found. I was praying as I walked and pleading that she was safe. Our neighborhood Backs up to a baseball field and the front of the complex is on a really busy road. I was walking the outskirts of the complex hoping she didn't go out to the busy road. This is actually her 3rd time getting out. The very first time was when we first moved in and she shimmied the door open and we had them fix it. We found her with an old lady with a bunch of little kittens. The second time was when I got those blisters and 2 girls (about 10 and 14) who were swimming in our pool actually helped me find her. And then this was the third time. Our neighbors are really nice and helpful, Its a really nice neighborhood and they screen people quite extensively before they move in. I hope there isn't a 4th time and were doing everything to ensure it doesn't happen again but im not perfect and I cant always account for people opening the gate like the delivery man, maintenance, etc. She is very active and a smart girl who waits for opportune moments to plan and devise things. Shes also Super Fast!

This is the whole Apt Complex. The Yellow line is the Super Busy Road(Parker Road). Then there is actually a road between the 2 Complexes dividing the 1 bedroom buildings(higher right ones) the 2 bed 2 baths(lower right, Long buildings) and then dividing is a road between those buildings and the left side buildings 2 Bed 1 Bath (the ones on the Left). I hope that makes sense.

This is the gate into her bedroom that I had set up. She added the Portable Toilet to be able to get her legs over the gate and jump down! (re-created.)
