We live on a busy street. The speed limit is 35 mph and we live across the street from a school, but it's not uncommon to see people go 40-50 mph down our street. There are tons of cars. As a result we are hyper-vigilant whenever we have the kids and dog out front. We keep a baby gate at the front door because we don't have a screen door and usually we strap the kids into the stroller before going out front.
Chris came home from the daily walk and entered through the patio gate. After unstrapping the kids from the stroller and coming inside he proceeded to change Cooper's diaper. When he was almost done he realizes he hasn't heard anything from Charlotte and looks up.
He happened to look out the front window and what does he see? Charlotte walking down the sidewalk out front!! He quickly finishes with Cooper, panics and runs out front to get Charlotte. Apparently he forgot to lock the gate after coming home and she decided to go for a walk by herself.
When Chris comes in he now realizes Cooper is nowhere to be seen. He looks all over and then realizes the only place left to look is the office since he wasn't out front. We have a baby gate up to prevent them from going in the office and they only way they can get in is the doggy door from the patio, but we usually barricade that--except for this time.
When Chris gets to the office he finds Cooper acting like a king sitting in his office chair with the mouse in one hand and a half eaten powdered sugar donut in the other hand. Unfortunately he was so panicked from losing 2 kids within a few minutes that he didn't take any pictures of Cooper eating the donut.
Toddlers are curious little things!
