go kalian

ok, I just had one of the scariest mothering experiences - we just went over to our house for the first time. I took the kids there. It was really nice to see our big yard with fruit on our trees for the first time! We had lunch in the back yard and then we came back for Kalian's nap - I've been persistent about her napping at the same time every day and it's really been working. Anyway, I let the kids play in the front seat for awhile. I then strapped Liam in his seat, shut the door and walked around to strap Kalian in. The door was locked and my keys were inside!!!

Because of the key confusion of moving, the car keys were not attached to the house keys, which I had kept out instead of the car keys. Liam was strapped in already, and it was really hot in the car. Should I smash the door open, call 911?, AAA? I then decided to walk around to Kalian's side of the door and tell her (ok, scream through the window) to get in the front seat. She did it. Then I asked her to open the door. She first just locked them again, but then unlocked them and I immediately opened the door.

Way to go smart two year old!
