I locked my 1 year old in the car last weekend on a beautiful summer day. I ran into a convenience store sobbing and called 911. Three really cute fireman had my child out within 5 five minutes and told me it happens all the time.

Its so nice to know that things like this happen to us all!

Don’t forget the horrible “Fell Down the Stairs While Holding My Child” badge. Or “Let Him Eat Hot Dogs for Consecutive Nights for Dinner” badge! There are so many. I bet we have forgotten all about tons of the newborn ones too.

Wow, glad it all worked out! My two year old locked himself in our SUV “play driving” with the keys in his possesion! He laughed uncontrollably. Refused to unlock the door. (which he knows how to do) Luckily we were in our garage and able to unlock with the spare. I actually like the idea of a mommy badge sash! Some one should make a virtual one! LOL

We have one mounted outside, tucked into a small crevice by the utility boxes. Saved my butt at least twice now.

We have quite a lovely collection of badges between all of us! I think we should all don our sashes and go to a cookie jubilee. Who’s hosting?

Re: the chair. It’s originally from BabyStyle and I coveted it in it’s $120 glory all through pregnancy but never coughed up the cash for it. Then, on one fateful day the end of last summer, I saw it sitting on a top shelf of my favorite local consignment shop. It was in excellent/like new condition and they only wanted $20 for it!! I think it’s the steal of the century. Not only does Kendall love it, but the cat basically lives on it.

We are also in the middle of reading Brown Bear 1 million times a day. It must be this age. Too funny. That is Max’s favorite book right now!

I also live with the fear just knowing one day I am going to lock myself out of the car while it is still runing with my son in it.

I also LOVE his chair!

My dad loves to tell the story of how he used to take one of us three kids out to get the paper and to the dump on a Sunday morning…I was the lucky one who got to go and – in those days, when they used to leave the car running while they ran into the White Hen to pick up the Sunday Boston Globe – in my 3 year old excitement I locked my dad out of the RUNNING car! He said he was dancing next to the window saying “K – open up! Right there! Yup! Unlock the door!” and I was gleefully dancing on the other side of the window
Minutes and minutes later my mom comes to the rescue with another set of keys – and all was well. I laugh every time I hear that story and so will Kendall when he hears “his” story

I live in fear of the day I lock the baby in the car (because I know it’s bound to happen sometime).

On an unrelated note, I love the chair Kendall is sitting on in that picture. Where’d you get it?
