Stupid mom moment & update on MRI

Okay..I definitely had a stupid mom moment yesterday. Carson got locked in the car!! Yikes, I always think to myself how does that happen, well yesterday I found out. It was like 10:30 in the morning and we had just got back from the grocery store. Carson was up playing in the front seat, while I hauled all the groceries in. He eventually came inside, we did a few things around the house and about a half hour later we were ready to head out again. So I take Carson out to the car and go to open the door and the alarm starts going off, he must have hit something while he was playing around in the front. So I grab my keys and just start hitting buttons to make it stop. It stops, and I get Carson strapped in to his carseat. Once he was in, I started picking up a few wrappers that were in my car and took them out to the garbage can. I come back and shut all the doors, and head around to the front seat. Uh-oh. Locked, everything!! When I was trying to set off the alarm I must have hit the lock button instead. So here I am freaking out with Carson trapped in his seat in my driveway in the hot sun. I automatically start trying to call Thiago, he has the other key but he was in Salt Lake so that does me no good. I couldn't get a hold of him anyways, so I grab the phone book and try a locksmith only to be on hold for forever. Finally my mom calls, and tells me to just call the police and tell them I have a small child locked in the car. So I am on hold, while they search for a dispatch....and all the sudden I get an idea. I explain to Carson to wriggle out of the arm straps and lean forward to unlock his door. Ah-ha!! It worked...why did I not think of this a half hour earlier, who knows. I was so proud of Carson, he was so brave, didn't cry once. I just went on and on telling him what a good boy he was, and how proud I was of him. He now tells this story to everyone..only he will say "Me mommy locked me in the car". I kinda sound like an idiot..but oh well!

Next, we got the results from the Thiago's MRI...not great. Could be worse I guess. Come to find out, it is indeed a torn ACL. However it is minor and surgery can be put off until we have the baby. I don't know why we just don't do it now, but the recovery doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun and we just want to get Lincoln payed for first, before we add more hospital bills. Anyways, right now he has to start physical therapy 3 times a week, for the next month and then the doctor will check it again. Sigh, sigh..life is just full of little bumps in the road, but like I say...could be a lot worse!
