No joke. I lived there for my junior year of college, and it could take a half second to lose a kiddo in a subway or park or big square... (and I'd be esp. fearful for the kids since they don't speak Italian). At least you could keep track of them this way. Anyways. Not to add to your worries, I thought this might help relieve them, actually. Good luck!! :)<br /><br />http://www.brickhousesecurity.com/product/toddler+tag+child+locator.do?sortby=bestSellersMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00463808246743563481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669762298855511295.post-62189404377856501642012-12-03T10:01:49.239-07:002012-12-03T10:01:49.239-07:00You are totally in my prayers.
