It might be hard to tell what this is, but it is a broom stick, without the broom on the bottom. And it looks like this for a reason... It's not my most proud parenting moment but it must be remembered because looking back now it's pretty funny, but in the moment it was one of the most stressful/anxious times since becoming a parent. Long story short is that Avery locked herself in the downstairs bathroom, except she didn't actually lock the door but pulled open one of the drawers from the cabinet that just so happens to be right next to the door and it got jammed. It took 45 minutes for me and Hayden to get her out and she pretty much screamed the entire time. After about 15 minutes I became pretty hysterical and I had all sorts of scenarios going through my head, one being that Avery would get to the chemicals underneath the sink, and another being that I was going to break the door down or call the police. Anyway during all of this Hayden was supposed to be in class, but he obviously missed it due to our current circumstance. We tried everything possible but it would not budge that last little bit that we needed it to, and just as we thought we would almost get it Avery would pull it right back open. I was getting desperate an Hayden suggested that I go say a prayer upstairs so I did... But that was that. However on the way down stairs I suddenly had the idea to take the broom handle and try one last time to close the jammed bottom bathroom drawer. I took that thing, bent it in half, and with all the strength in me shoved it as hard as I could against the drawer. BOOM! It worked! My baby was free! 3 important things were learned during this besides the obvious thing to always keep the bathroom door shut.
1: prayer works
2: the mama bear comes out when my baby is in trouble
3: Hayden was impressed and thought it was totally attractive. WIN.
