9-1-1

Well, tonight we had our first 9-1-1 call. The good thing was that it was not for any real emergency. Adilyn was playing in the front seat of my car tonight when we got home, and I shut the door. The minute I shut it, she pushed the lock button! The very next second I realized that my purse was in the car - with my keys in it! She kept pushing the lock side of the button, and I was trying to get her to press the unlock side. She wouldn't do it! For the first little bit she was just playing around in there. Then, she picked up a drink and spilled it all over herself. At that point, she wanted to me to get her out. When I didn't, she realized that she was stuck. She started to get a little frantic. I was trying to keep her calm (and keep myself calm). My neighbors had come over, and we decided to go ahead and call 9-1-1. Within about 15 minutes, an ambulance and police officer came to the house. They opened the door, and she was really excited to get the heck out of there! Luckily it wasn't hot outside, and the car wasn't on. It was really the perfect day to lock your baby in the car. :( I felt like such an idiot! I know that things that like happen, but it's still embarrassing! Adilyn forgave me and when we got in the house she kept saying, "Bye, bye men! Bye, bye men!" I'm just glad that help came quickly! It could have been much worse! We went back outside to get all the bags out of the car, and I noticed a bunch of little hand prints on my window...I started to feel guilty all over again!!!!

Oh my gosh! That is one of my worst fears. I am glad it all worked out okay. You definately won't be the last one to accidently lock your kid in the car:)
