Crazy Morning

So this morning we were all set to go to our weekly playgroup and I was loading the kids in the car. Max LOVES keys and whenever he sees them, he holds out his hand and says, "key?" over and over until I let him play with them. I let him hold my keys while I buckled up Caleb first, and then I buckled Max. Just when I closed Max's door, I hear the car lock. Max has the keys and is continuously pushing the lock button. UGH! I would have just gone inside to get the spare except for the spare house keys were inside our locked house, and the others Max had on the key chain. I tried coaxing Max through the window. I asked him, "Max, give the keys to Caleb." He reached over and Caleb tried to grab them, then Max would pull them back and yell, "NO!" (His new favorite word) This happened many times, until Max finally threw the keys on the floor. I tried to get Caleb to open the lock on the other side and he pushed his best, but it didn't work. I called the Locksmith and they got there pretty fast, but still the kids were locked in the car for about 45 mins. Near the end, both Max and Caleb were crying and Max kept reaching for me to get him out. I had to walk away for a while because it was so sad. The locksmith did a great job, but it still took a while, and then when he finally got it open, he told me baby lock outs were free. I was sooo grateful. I was also grateful for having it happen under the circumstances it did, it could have been a lot worse.

Max's Big Day

My baby is one now. He has been the best baby! He is snuggly and loving, and I am so thankful for him. What a wonderful year it has been! He says quite a few words now and loves to tease. He loves to follow his big brother around and copies most things that Cub does. Max laughs when everyone else does, and is pretty much obsessed with phones. His smile and his sweet eyes light up the room. I am just in love with him:) Here is a movie from his birthday.
