Return to the Scene

About a week ago, Adam and I were going to the mall. I had the stroller out of the trunk and ready for him to get into. I opened his car door, then locked the doors with the remote on the keys and put the keys in the stroller. Mr. Independent got out of his car seat on his own and was going to shut the door like he always does. I reminded him to watch his fingers, but he wasn’t quick enough to move them and BANG! Finger in the door. Remember, the door is locked and the keys are in the stroller. I started fumbling around to find the keys and get the door opened while my poor boy stood there crying with his finger stuck! I felt awful! He was such a trooper. He cried for a little while, but was OK fairly soon. He is now pretty proud of his purple finger and likes to show people and say, “I squished my finger!”:

Today we went back to the mall for some shopping and to get Adam a hair cut. When we were talking about going there, Adam said, “Don’t squish finger! It will hurt!” Smart boy.

Brian is out of town this week, so it is just Adam and I. We’ve done this before and made it through just fine. Keeping my fingers crossed for a happy boy and an uneventful week! I hope I didn’t just jinx myself…..
