Oh, how I miss you...wanna come for a playdate? :)
Wow, #2039 sounds like a crazy day!
oh, it was an adventure, let me tell you. good grief! I don't think he tripped the lock on purpose--he just slammed the door--and we have antique doorknobs, the kind with a little metal switch that slides back and forth to lock it. meaning, NOT the kind where there's a little hole in the doorknob on the outside and you can just pop the lock with a bobby pin. he couldn't figure out how to unlock it, and we couldn't unlock it from the outside...and I took the storm window off one of the windows only to discover that the window was locked. OY!
#2028 makes me laugh. I'm guessing he doesn't like having hiccups?
#2046 - I need to read that again!
