What would you do?

CJ’s class is going on a trip to the circus. At a big auditorium in town. He’s only 3! And he’s going on a huge field trip to a very crowded place…
So I made Matt take the day off from work to take care of Alexa so I could go with CJ on his field trip. I think I might be a wee bit overprotective. I can’t bear to make CJ miss going to the circus with his class. I mean, the child idolizes elephants, and I assume there will be elephants. And they have been talking about going to the circus at school, so every time I say the word circus, CJ puts something over his nose and pretends to be a clown.
It is adorable. Trust me.
I can’t make him miss it but I can’t let him go and worry myself to tears over him getting lost in a crowded circus tent. So I have to go too.
He’s still my baby after all.

Oh, three. I freaked out the first time my oldest went on a field trip and he was six. No joke, I called the principal to freak out over the lack of seatbelts on the bus, the fact that they were travelling on freeways into the heart of Dallas. There was no earthly was I wasn’t going, but I think I took the freak-out a little further than you did.
Totally normal freak-out, I think. Completely justified. And besides, you need a picture of him with the clowns!
The circus! I wanna come along too!
No seriously I would be going if DJ’s preschool said they were going on a field trip, especially some place that big. I have only tagged along on a couple of the girls trips because of work, but I always requested which chaperone they were paired up with because then I knew who was responsible for my child, and I knew that my child would listen to Ms. ____ or Mr. _____ without a problem.
