A lady left her two little ones in the car and ran into some place of business. The kids somehow made the car back out into traffic. They hit another car but they were ok.<br />So glad that your little ones are ok. I am so cautious because of so many stories I hear of the totally unexpected things. I just read a story about how more and more toddlers are getting squashed by large flat screen tv's in this country. I pray that everyone will have theirs secured.Misty M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00846203168574015490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-18268954600985841702009-06-01T21:54:11.744-04:002009-06-01T21:54:11.744-04:00Wow, Little Momma, I think so too.

Eva Rose, who was 2, followed me, but I didn't realize it. I came back in and went back to work. 15 minutes later, Ike, who was brand new and asleep, started crying and crying and could not be consoled - no reason for him to be crying. Finally I came down to check on him. <br /><br />I asked my mom where Eva Rose was - she thought she was with me - we began searching for her frantically, as we had not seen her in 15 minutes.<br /><br />I ran outside, looked around, and finally saw her - locked in my mom's car. On a Houston summer day.<br /><br />When I got her out, she was soaking wet with sweat and exhausted from screaming. <br /><br />I always wondered about those people whose children died in hot cars - now I know. <br /><br />Oh, it still makes me cry just to think of it. But I imagined angels just poking and poking a sleeping Ike, to make me come see what was wrong with him. If he had not cried, who knows how long she would have been out there before we realized it??<br /><br />Thank you, thank you, thank you God.Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11264845015930907294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-35390913240671603142009-06-01T17:28:19.083-04:002009-06-01T17:28:19.083-04:00I am late in commenting (due to being late in read...I am late in commenting (due to being late in reading this post) but wanted to say that my friends 3 year old put her suburban in drive and managed to crash it into the corner of the neighbor's house. He missed that "beam" everyone has, the one that holds the entire house up, by only inches and was not damaged by the air bag by the absolute grace of God! <br />He was buckled into his carseat in the 3rd row of seats before he proved to be a houdini and drive a suburban yet escape injury! <br />Thankful for the grace God gives us to see what could have happened yet did not!!!<br /><br />:)Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821297218049819979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-21539543952886962242009-06-01T10:24:22.177-04:002009-06-01T10:24:22.177-04:00My BFF called me this morning crying that she was ...My BFF called me this morning crying that she was the worst mother ever... someone left the back door open and her little 1 1/2 year old escaped... they found him in the FRONT yard!

He does not normally ride in the front but due to unforseen circumstances, he had to ride in the front yesterday after her event. As we were standing talking at her door, he decided to move the shifter. Good thing Robin had her foot on the brake...or they would have run into the car ahead of her. You'd think that a 10yr old would know not to touch but apparently he did not....don't know what he was thinking but knowing Rob, she probably gave him a talking to.bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04766687202439606185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-51847291761857308552009-05-31T15:34:41.203-04:002009-05-31T15:34:41.203-04:00I had a pit in my stomach reading that!

She ran into the church to get something (my FIL was a youth pastor there) and when she came back out, her car was gone!! He had put it in gear and driven forward through the parking lot and into the neigbors garden. Thankfully there wasn't anyone in the garden or that he didn't drive into the street. The neighbor made them pay for every last vegetable he ruined. We can all laugh about it now, but i can't imagine the sinking feeling she had when she came out and her car was gone!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09188591526952065387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-47207829104909526112009-05-30T03:39:50.154-04:002009-05-30T03:39:50.154-04:00oH Momma how scary!
