For reals. We had come back from a walk to the grocery store. I put her inside the house, unloaded my two bags of groceries and my keys onto the kitchen table. I then went back outside to collect the rest of our belongings that were stowed under the stroller and to fold up the stroller and bring it inside. While I was outside, Hailey closed the door and locked the deadbolt enough that I couldn’t open the door. My keys and baby were inside and I was outside. Stuck. I immediately texted Kyle and tried to walk Hailey through how to unlock the door. Hailey was no help. I called our apartment manager, only to get a voicemail. After 15-20 minutes Hailey started to whine and cry. Kyle soon called, and I could tell in his voice he thought it was funny. And of course it was, I thought so too. Because Hailey can only barely turn the deadbolt, Kyle suggested I shake the door and it might knock the deadbolt loose. Sure enough it worked. What would I do without him? He’s saved me too many times to count.
Oh man, I'm so glad you were able to get inside. That is one of my worst fears - my baby being locked somewhere (car or house) and me not being able to rescue her. I have to be really careful because she likes to play with the keys while I'm buckling her into her carseat and I have to remember to grab them from her before I shut the door because she's pressed the lock button several times.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that would be a funny/scary situation! Glad it didn't last longer than it did. I guess those keys will have to stay in your pocket from now on!
ReplyDeleteI would have freaked out... I'm so glad you were able to keep your calm and it resolved itself easily! That little stinker. Good thing she's cute.
