Can't believe I would ever have to blog about this


The only reason I am going to blog about this is to remind everyone what can happen. Yesterday when we got home from running errands I started doing some work in the garage. All of the kids were getting out of the car and going inside. Or so I thought. I finished up and closed the garage and went in. Josh was on the computer and I heard the girls upstairs. I started to make dinner, I went on the computer myself, made and phone call and then the next thing I know Lilly came walking in from the garage crying. She kept saying why did you leave me in the car? I was calling your name. Well, I didn't know she had been left in the car. She was in the hot car for close to 35 minutes. She was burning up and her hair was soaked. She had tried to get out but locked the car door acidently. She was smart enough to open the garage to give her some light to get the car unlocked and opened. You can't imagine how I feel. I have not been able to sleep at all. I just feel sick. So, let you learn from this. Make sure everyone gets out of the car. It is so easy for this kind of thing to happen.

I left Evan in the car when he was 4 months old. I totally forgot I had him with me.

I agree with anniepants - it can happen to anyone.

That is heartbreaking! I'm so glad she got herself out and is okay. It really could happen to anyone of us...thanks for the reminder! You are STILL the mom we are all trying to be! Give Lilly a hug for me!

Christi,I've done this once too, but luckly it was winter time. It does scare the sh*t out of you and makes you understand that it can happen to anyone. What a smartie Lilly is. Good for her. Glad all turned out all right. Thanks for the reminder.
