The Rescue - Parts One & Two...

Every parent will have one of these days...we've already had two!

Part one of the rescue occurred before I started this blog - Saady locked herself out of the house one day while the little man was asleep in the bassinet by the window. I got the teary eyed call from a neighbours place while I was at work - fortuitously I had taken the car that day so I raced home to find a very unhappy mum looking at her beautiful sleeping little boy through a pane of glass. It won't happen again we said... it seems we were wrong...

Part two to the rescue happened today when I got the call from another neighbours place at about 3:45PM that it was all happening again. Saady had gone out the front door and locked him in behind her. But this time - I didn't have the car at work and there was no sleeping beauty - just one little Liam McNamee home alone and running wild and free. Awww shut!! Plan A quickly became Saads chucking a brick through the washhouse window - that didn't work because its shatter-proof - but she did try! Plan B materialised into Saads and a small coven of helpful neighbours trying to get in through the lounge window. Not content to just sit around, Liam even participated in his own rescue - clever boy - he lifted one of the latches for Saads, but then she had to stick her hand in before he closed it. He tripped over en-route to the second latch which started the tears, and apparently they flowed because Mum couldn't cuddle him. Finally Saads et-al managed to break the other latch and get in to comfort our very upset little boy. Shortly after this I arrived home courtesy of a workmate for cuddles, kisses and and contingency planning - what a nightmare!
