UNLOCK the DOOR!

Today we had another Bode experience, bless his heart:) We were getting ready for the bus to come pick him up for school. We were outside just hanging out enjoying this awesome weather. I had put my purse and the car keys in the car because I was leaving right away to do some errands. I noticed Bode getting into the car and didn't really think anything of it. The next thing I hear is the cars horn honking (which means the door has been locked). My heart sunk...Bode had locked himself in the car with the car keys and a couple weeks before Collin lost the spare:( I was dying. Bode was having a blast. I ran over and tried to get him to unlock the door and of course he has no idea what I am talking about and he is just having a hay day steering the steering wheel and messing with anything possible. The next thing I see is Bode putting the keys into the ignition and starting to turn...I have never heard me scream so loud at him, I think I scared him pretty bad (that is hard to do) because he instantly dropped the keys.

In the meantime while I was trying to negotiate with him to unlock the door his school bus had come and gone, I had cancelled an appointment that I was headed to and I had called Collin in a panic. Collin made it home and he tried to get him to unlock the door and he wouldn't budge. By this point we were kind of laughing our heads off, it was pretty funny to see. He would pull down the mirror in and look at himself, pat his cheeks, put the seat belt on, try to shove Cd's in the player, he was having a blast. We finally got him to get the keys again (this was the only way we could think of to get him to unlock the door, since he locked it this way) he stuck them in the ignition AGAIN, at this point we were getting worried. I called the police dispatch and right when I was on the phone with the police...he unlocked it! Thank goodness! Time to get a new spare key and time to show Bode how to unlock the door:) We are just lucky he didn't turn the car on and put the car into gear and ran into our house or put it in reverse and run it into our neighbor's house. We love the experiences that Bode brings into our life...silly little guy.
