Who knows what to call this one?!?
So, today I was being a very festive and I decided I would put Christmas lights on the outside of our house. I do it so that my child can enjoy all the excitement and joys that the season has to offer. Don't think I was doing anything crazy, I stuck strictly to the bushes. It's wonderful those new net lights that were invented a few years ago. They make life so much easier. I offered for Zach to play outside while I worked, but he said that he wanted to stay in. I heard him trying to come out the front door so I went around to the garage door and tried to open that one for him since I had left it unlocked. Well, it was locked. I still really really think I had left it unlocked and he was trying to get out and while doing so locked the door. I have noticed for the past month or so that he has had the ability to twist the lock on the knob. I of course had to call him over to that door to see if I could even get him to unlock it. Let's not forget that I was dumb enough to leave both my phone and my keys in the house with my 3 year old. After I remained calm talking to him and he was unable to unlock the door (even though I knew he could do it), I ran down to my neighbor that I luckily had met before and saw was home. He gave me his cell phone and I called my mother-in-law. I was glad at this moment that I had taken the time to memorize her phone number since for a while there I had no idea what it was. Of course it went straight to voice mail and I left her a message in a very frantic voice to call me back on this number. I then asked my neighbor what he thought I should do. As we headed back to my house together I tried the door again to see if Zachary had gotten it unlocked and thank goodness he had. I knew he could do it. I must not have given him enough time the first couple of tries. I called my mother-in-law again to let her know everything was okay now. Comes to find out her cell phone is weird and when I left the message it didn't say what phone number I was calling from so she never would've been able to call me back. I guess that's good for next time. But hopefully there won't be a next time because I plan to hide a key in the garage! It was quite the experience.

Was he scared at all being in the house alone?
