The other week my son locked me out of the house. All my fault.
That’s how it happened, my client was at the door to get her ticket. It was going to be a minute, so I ran downstairs without my keys and with my son, leaving my daughter upstairs behind the closed gate.
It was windy and I didn’t my son to be exposed to the wind, so I went outside and closed the door. In that one minute he turned the lock and I couldn’t get back in. Good thing is that I had my cell phone with me, so I could call my husband to rush home but it would took him almost two hours to get home and the kids wouldn’t last that long.
My son was very excited and playful at first but when he saw I really can’t get in he got scared. It took me 20 minutes of instruction on how to turn the lock until he did it. I will never leave my keys and I think he learned his lesson and will never lock the door.
This is a problem with many families, I’m lucky he doesn’t lock the bedroom or bathroom doors. One of the parents in the www.ivillage.com message board had this problem with the inside doors and found a solution at www.no-lock.com.
This won’t work for my problem but perhaps can solve problems of many other parents.
Until next time

Thanks for the laugh, happy to see my daughter isn’t the only little smarty out there. When it happened to us my one year old was sitting on the floor drinking a bottle. Thank goodness he had that bottle, no telling what trouble he would have been in if he didn’t have it.
