My little 2 yr old decided to lock Nanny out of the house today. Mom had a funeral to attend, and she stepped outside, with her keys to put a cake in the car before getting Sarah out to the car. In the 5 seconds it took her to get to the car and back to the door, Sarah had locked the glass screen door. Mom didn't have her purse, phone, etc. She tried to get Sarah to unlock the door, to no avail, and Sarah then got upset saying "I just can't do it", then she started crying. No one lives around mom right, they are all empty houses - families that have fallen victim to the failing economy, no doubt. So my mom heads off walking to try to find someone home farther down the road - no one home. Sarah, by this time, was hysterical. She doesn't even like to be left in the room alone, much less in the house... So Nanny comes back after her unsuccessful trip down the street. At this point, she really has no choice but to leave to go get my dad who works just down the street - so she gets in the car to go get him to come help. Nanny is so distraught by the time that she gets there that he can't understand what she's saying, but he finally gets it out of her and they take off back to the house to rescue little Sarah. He yanked on the door with everything he had, and it popped right open. I'm not sure who was crying harder, Nanny or Sarah. It's somewhat funny now, but it sure wasn't then. I'm just glad that everyone's okay. Nanny and Sarah had a "lock lesson" after I left for lunch to keep that from happening again... now they won't be able to keep her in :)
oh the joys of raising a 2 yr old. whoever said it takes a village was dead on.
My kids never cease to amaze me how horribly wrong something can go in just 5 seconds.
