Yesterday I was putting some laundry away and Finley was playing in our Master bathroom. She loves to close doors these days so she was partially closing the bathroom door and playing Peek-A-Boo with me. (There's been several occasions when she would close a door to a room, separating herself from me, and burst into tears.... She does not like there to be a physical barrier between her and everyone else.)
Well, yesterday, she closed the bathroom door and started crying so I immediately went to open the door back up when I found that she had locked the door!
Fortunately, we have the push button doorknobs and Devin had shown me how to open them with a paperclip. So I ran downstairs, found a paperclip, ran back upstairs, and proceeded to jiggle it in the doorknob hole to open it.
Let me just say that when Finley is screaming like that, I have a difficult time concentrating. After playing with it unsuccessfully for 30 seconds, I tried calling Devin. I know I'm not supposed to panic in situations like that, but I was panicking! =)
Before Devin could even answer, the paperclip clicked inside the doorknob and I was able to rescue poor Finley. She was so happy to see me, but not two seconds later, she was trying to lock the Master bedroom door! Oh, dear!
Of course, I'm just glad THIS didn't happen again!
