My FIRST (and hopefully last) 911 call....

As if having 2 birthdays and trying to sell our house wasn't enough for me to deal with (and kids with the flu and 24 hr throw-up bug) this month.....my sweet lil' William decided to start throwing temper tantrums.

And last Tuesday while Audrey was home sick, William was mad at me for not letting him go outside and so he went over to the stairs and grabbed the railings while screaming and crying. I told him we could play toys together, then sat down on the couch and waited for hime to "get over it."

He stopped crying, and when I turned to look at him, his head was stuck between the rails and he then started wimpering "Ma-ma, hep".....

I could not for the life of me get his head un-stuck....so I had to call 911! And what do you know....when ALL the rescue vehicles arrived, a big, burly man walked in and smiled and then proceeded to bend back the railings and pull Williams head out like it was NO BIG DEAL!!!

I'm so grateful for 911 and the men and women who come at a moments notice to help!!!

And sooooo, I told Gene on the phone what happened and he said..."Did you get a picture?" NOOOOOOOO I didn't! :) So sorry there is no picture to accompany my first 911 story! lol!

Oh Sheri! You sweet mother! You are one amazing woman and seriously funny too! Give William our love and hugs and kisses. Is he less prone to tantrums after getting trapped in the railings?

I was always the kid with their head stuck in something.... ;) I just have to say you have the most adorable family I have ever seen. Truly. I can't imagine a cuter bunch.

Uh oh, too funny! I had a friend nicknamed "Tweety" in college. I asked him how he got his name and it was a very similar story, LOL!!

Oh Sheri! Life is so much fun with toddlers! We called our 1st 911 call last year too! Never a dull moment! Well, at least you can write it in William's journal and remind him of it at his farewell!
