Last weeek I experienced something that I hope no one has to experience. I went to the college on the first day of classes to drop off a few forms. It was extremely busy and I was toting Taylor with me. After finding a parking spot in the North Forty, I got Taylor out of the carseat and let him roam around in the car while I got the stroller out of the trunk. When I went to open the door, he had locked it! Are you kidding!? Everything was inside! i.e the keys, cell phone, and my son! OMG!
I kept tapping on the window, repeatedly telling him, "Push the button baby." He sat as big as you please in the driver's seat emptying my wallet, pushing all the buttons on my cell phone, playing with my sunglasses, and of course grinning from ear to ear. He thought, "This is the life!"
I was causing quite a scene at this time. A young girl came over to help and offered her cell phone so I could call Sean. No answer! Then another young gentleman comes over and I hear him calling the fire department! I asked him, "What is the fire dept. going to do?" He said, "M'am there's a child locked in the car. They will break a window if they have to!" I thought for sure I was going to jail! I prayed.
While the crowd grew larger, we all kept tapping on the window, pleading with a 1 year old. Suddenly, God answered my prayer, Taylor pushed the button to unlock the doors! He had no idea what he had done. I scooped him up and the crowd gave him a round of applause.
If you learn anything from me let this be the lesson. Never leave a child alone in the car! Even if your right there! Luckly it wasn't a typical 107 degrees out. The circumstances could have been much worse!
