Had a heart attack yesterday...

EastCoastBride · April 2011

We have a laundry room off our foyer. There is a door through that room that leads to our carport.

I'm playing w/ DS in our playroom, but I'm taking it easy on the couch (wasn't feeling all that great). DS takes his big mega-blocks dump truck for a trip. He goes into the laundry room and shuts the door.

I'm waiting to hear him knock on the door (a game he likes to play), or to just come back through. It wasn't even all that long, but I didn't hear him and I was like "O.k. - what's he doing?".

I go into the laundry room - yeah, he's not in there!!!!! I had left the side door open earlier and he was obviously VERY easily able to open the screen door.

I RUN outside yelling his name and he comes running out from the sidewalk that leads up to our front door.

He was just doing a big circle and if I had waited another 15 secs, I would have just seen him coming in our front door.

But CRIPES, he gave me a heart attack. Obviously learned a big lesson - close the doors!!!! (I actually recently put child knobs on all our doors because he can open them too) And I told him he can't go outside w/o mommy!

Wow....
