I'll get over the Leash Looks, too. KC has a cute Lion harness that I use when we're going to be some place where my attention will not be on him 100 percent or, since I don't have a stroller, when we're going to be walking around in non-toddler proof areas. He was wearing his harness at H&W and one of the other mothers there was deeply offended. She commented a couple times to her probably 4 year old daughter how easy it was to teach little ones to sit quietly like she was if they had something to occupy them. Then she gave KC several books, which he immediately threw on the floor and went back to his fun game of walking to the end of the leash, laughing, and running back to me. I put the books on the table next to me, KC pushed them back onto the floor, so I put them back on the bookshelf and moved where he couldn't reach them. This made the Offended Lady decide he needed a coloring book and crayons. I had her take the crayons away, telling her he eats them and he decided to toss the coloring book onto the floor, then get back to his own game of walking off and running back. Thankfully, we were called into the office before Offended Lady could come up with something else to offer him.
As for the leash, I used one with my youngest son and had several doctors tell me they wished more people would use them. The social workers at H&W have all been positive and my oncology doctor told me she used one for all four of her kids. So suck it, Offended Lady.
He's young, he's fast, and he doesn't have asthma - thank God for the Lion Leash.
