My little stinker!

The picture above hints to my post for this evening. Yep! Little Missy locked me out tonight. It was around 7:15 PM this evening. She had just finished dinner and I had stripped her down to her diaper in prep for her bath. It's trash night so I decided to run it out to the curb real quick (you see where I'm going don't ya). It takes all of 2 seconds and I took my house keys with me cuz well you never know. She has locked the front door on her own twice in the past. Both times with the keys in the door, luckily! Anyhoo, I ran the trash out and waved at her through the storm door as I walked back up. She was stretching up on her tip toes and I was thinking just how cute she looked trying to open the door for me... Then when I went to open it.. Yep! She locked the storm door on me??? Didn't know that was a trick she knew. It has a lock that you have to twist so I tried to coach her through the glass. She would turn it but then quickly change directions. I'm motioning and gesturing and she is looking back at me and copying my gestures. I did manage to get her to drag her potty over to the door, put the lid down and stand up on it so that she could reach the lock better (I'm sure she will store that trick for future mischief). My coaxing went on for a good 10 min before 2 of my neighbors showed up (Evidently I was loud).They joined me in my attempts but were unsuccessful. Did I mention that all I had on was my PJ bottoms and a thin tee shirt? It was in the low 40's too. Anyhoo, they brought me a knife and a screw driver but I was not able to break in. I was really considering breaking the glass when one of them suggested a locksmith. We called one and waited 30 min with nothing so then I called another one. Meanwhile another neighbor arrived to help. By then Little Miss wanted no part of trying to unlock the door. She kept saying, "Mine" each time anyone tried to gesture at the door lock. It was hard not to laugh really :) With the locksmith on the way, I was down to 1 remaining neighbor. It was freezing but she would not go home until I was in. She was so sweet, she brought me a coat and some gloves. Abby provided the entertainment while we waited by giving a very nice inservice on the workings of her potty with all of it's bells and whistles. So finally the locksmith guy came and got me in. Little girl was no worse for the wear. 2 points for Abba and none for Mommy. I tell ya, she knows it too :)



Man I love her!!!!!
