Who? Cassandra! Yesterday… for a good 15 minutes in her jie jies’ bedroom and thank God she did not hurt herself.
I have always had a phobia of my girls’ fingers being pinched by doors ever since Sherilyn’s thumb was crushed by a metal door when she was 1.5 yo. The bone was a little cracked and the nail was yanked off. It was a terribly gory scene. Since then, I always make it a point to double and triple check that all the bedroom doors have 2 door stoppers on each door, ie. one U-shape stopper on the door and another stopper in between the bottom of the door and the floor. I even have a hook-type door stopper from Cosway for my own bedroom. My 2 older girls have a habit of removing the door stoppers so that they could close the door and have some privacy and mad fun inside the bedroom, especially when I am busy… and they sure know how to take advantage of the situation. This will usually drive me berserk and screaming on top of my voice. They love banging the doors and lock themselves inside, and invite Baby into the room to play too.
Yesterday, Alycia removed the door stoppers of her bedroom door and went inside to play with Baby and Sherilyn. Moments later, Sherilyn yelled “Uh oh mummy, Baby is inside the room and the door is LOCKED!!” I dashed to the room and my mil zoomed to get the bunch of keys. But sh*t, we have not yet labeled the keys and we had to go through 2 big boxes of keys, holy moly! Baby was knocking on the door and screaming to get out. There was a chair inside the room and I was worried sick that she would climb on the chair and fall off the chair. The worst case scenario ran through my mind… Baby fell and injured herself…. we can’t find the damn key to the door…. she loses consciousness…. we have to yank off the door knob with a big hammer… only to find her lying on the floor motionless. Boy, I tell yer, I can be very dramatic and morbid. Thank God after 15-20 minutes we found the damn key. I chided Alycia and Sherilyn like a mad woman cursing a criminal. My mil and I then tried all the keys for all the door and labeled them.
Good lesson learned for us … and for you too if you haven’t already labeled your door keys!
