Mom of the Year Award

So, I had just gotten through working out and I take my kids to the car to buckle them in. I put Luke in the car first but don't buckle him in and then take Kate around to buckle her in. Well, Luke crawls up in the front seat and locks all the doors without me realizing it. So I close Kate's door and go around to buckle Luke up and sure enough all of the doors are locked. The first thing that goes through my head is that I just had a friend tell me that this happened to her and I totally saw myself doing this one day. So, a security car is driving through the parking lot and I sprint to catch up with him and bang on the side of his door. I think I freaked him out for a minute. He says he can't get it open so he called pop a lock. I tried and tried to get Luke to push the button again. He was just looking at me like I was crazy. He pushed it a few times but ended up pressing the lock side. So you would think that he would be a little weired out by the situation. No, he was having a ball. He found the diaper bag and proceeded to eat like 4 pieces of gum (with the wrapper still on) and started biting into my chapstick. He was in there for like 25 minutes and he loved every bit of it. Kate didn't cry at all thank goodness. I can't tell you how many times I said, " Push the button!!" People in the parking lot kept looking at me giving me sympathy looks. Even though it was a crazy moment in motherhood, it made me laugh. Gotta love 2 year olds!
