Well - as most of you know...I feel like I have triplets most days! A 1 year old, a puppy and a 5 month old. WHEW! Yesterday, as I was taking the puppy out to "potty"...I heard the door behind me slam shut..and then click. Kennedy had locked the door with me outside!!! This was Right before Jaxen's bottle time, and he was fussing...I was trying to take the dog out before the bottle so we wouldn't have an accident. The next few minutes were spent coaching Kennedy how to unlock the door....BUT...it didn't work. I was trying to tell a 1 year old to "turn the knob" -turn the "clicky thing". UGH. I think after a few minutes of that - she realized what she had done. She started WAILING...sooo upset. I could hear Jaxen crying as well. NICE. I had no cellphone or anything! I ran across the street to our neighbor, ROM's, house. He wasn't answering the door - despite my vigourous knocks and rings of the doorbell. After what seemed like an eternity - he came to the door...obviously I had woken him up. :) When I started telling him the story - the tears for me came. I couldnt help it when I started to think of my 2 children stuck in the house crying....
Rom said he was going to run upstairs to get his shoes - and help me out. I think he must have taken a shower - b/c his hair was wet, he had changed his clothes, and put his contacts in...geez!!! We went over to our house -and he cut the screen and got the window open and I crawled right inside. (It was a little disheartening that it was so easy...) :)
Needless to say - we are going to make a spare key - TODAY! :) Ooo...and let me just say for the record...that I called my mother crying - and she gave me wonderful sympathy...and then she proceeded to tell me that I had done the VERY SAME THING to her right before I turned 2 in Arizona!! haha... Emily...this reminds me of the similar "powder story".... :)

Oh my gosh!! You did way better than I would've done I think! =)
I have never been locked out by my kids BUT they locked Grandma Linda out one time! She left to get the mail and you know the rest. If I remember correctly David was closer to 3 1/2 so it was much easier to get him to unlock the door by himself.
