This morning we started our day normally but by the time I got Maddy dressed we realized she had a fever and wasn't going anywhere. So Matt and I stood in the kitchen and did the "who's staying home from work" dance. He decided to stay today and if needed, I would stay home tomorrow. I left and went to work as normal and he and Maddy settled in for a sick day. From the looks of things, she appeared to have it pretty good with an entire sofa to herself.
Around 8am my phone rang and he wanted to share a story. Maddy was playing and Matt walked into the garage to get some bird seed for our feeder on the back deck. Sweet thought and good intentions because I'm sure he thought it would be something to occupy her during the day - he could distract her with "Hey Maddy, look at those birds."
So, back to the garage. He walks out there and the next thing he knows the door to the house shuts and he hears it lock. He's now in the garage with no phone and Maddy is inside the house with the door locked! He said he could hear her messing with the door knob but she couldn't figure out how to unlock the door. Long story short - Matt remembered we had a key hidden outside our house and was able to get out of the garage to get the key and then open the door to the house. The day was saved but not without a little panic on both sides of the door! I told Matt I was going to post this on our blog because there has to be someone that's experienced this before...the moment when you realize your toddler is not only tall enough to reach the door knob but smart enough to open/close/lock it! Would love to hear your stories :)
Maddy is still running a fever so no dancing in the kitchen tomorrow morning for Mommy and Daddy - Mommy wins the stay at home card.
