Josh the Hero

I had to share this story. This morning I was cleaning up the house while Josh was watching Curious George. I realized it was garbage day so I quickly got all the trash together to run out to the curb. Josh was intently watching his show so I thought I would be safe leaving him and running outside for 2 seconds. I shut the door behind me without him even flinching, dumped the trash on the curb, and came back upstairs. When I went to open the door I realized it was locked! Josh was now inside calling my name and I was standing in my jam stained pajamas locked outside of my apartment. Aaaahh! Ben was at the temple and wouldn't be reachable or home for at least a few hours. My neighbor had his door open and I asked him for help. Did he think we could pick the lock? He said he could probably climb up onto my balcony from outside. (We live on the second story so this was probably doable). Josh does know how to open the door and since it wasn't deadbolted all he had to do was pull the handle. He hasn't done it for a long time. But I started knocking on the door.

"Josh can you open the door?"
"Tah"
"Josh open it, pull on the handle"
"tah"

Then tada my little 16 month old hero opened the door and saved me. Both my neighbor and I cheered and Josh started clapping for himself and giving my neighbor five.

All in all could have been a scary experience but was over in less than five minutes and turned out just fine. Thanks Josh!
