We've had a few scary moments over the past few weeks. The first one occurred while we were in Seattle visiting Jacob's sister and her family. We were driving the rental car to their house and had just gotten on the highway. Suddenly there was a gust of wind and a loud noise in the car. Jacob's and my heads swung around to look into the back seat, where we saw Esme's door flying open. She had opened it herself!
I almost had a heart attack. Needless to say, we pulled over immediately and switched the safety lock of the back door on, which prohibits anyone from opening the back door from the inside. Somehow, when we got home, we had forgotten all about that frightening moment in Seattle.
Then yesterday, as we were on our way home from lunch in Half Moon Bay, the same sound of rushing air surprised us again. Apparently our lesson hadn't been fully learned, because we had failed to fix the child safety locks on our own cars when we got home. Another near heart attack later, our cars now have the locks adjusted so that Esme can't open the doors anymore.
And the moral of the story is, you might want to think about toddler proofing your car.
