Funny story... This is a "Carterism" that I need to remember!
Carter wasn't in his big boy bed long before he figured out how to open the door. We never had a problem with him getting out, but just in case... we turned the lock around to make sure he didn't wander by himself in the middle of the night (he also knows how to use the outside doors and locks!).
Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago... Joel was working late, and I was trying to get the kids ready for bed. I also wanted to pick up in Carter's room a bit before he went to sleep, so in we all went to "play" and put toys away. My friend and I had been playing phone tag all day, and we finally got in touch. She asked me about something that I was going in the other room for, when I realized that the 3 of us (luckily) were locked IN Carter's room. Now... this wasn't an ideal situation by any means. But... it could have been MUCH worse. Both of the kids were in there with me. I had my phone. Nothing cooking on the stove. Dogs were ok. However, I still couldn't get us out. I tried the coat hanger in the doorknob trick, but all that did was give a little mind lots of bad ideas. I finally gave in and called Joel. He hadn't even left the office yet, but packed up and came home to let us out. The kids took pictures with my phone to pass the time. I had just gotten my other replaced (got wet) and hadn't realized I still had the cover over the camera. Oops. Sorry they're a little fuzzy, but they still make me laugh.
The next day, he locked us all out of the guest bathroom.
Yesterday, I went to lay down with him before his nap as he wasn't feeling good at all. I got up to realize he had locked us in his room. Again. You think I'd have learned.
I did learn, however, a trick to getting the door open when it's locked. Dare I say it aloud where little ears can hear!
