Mother of the Year Award Goes To....NOT ME!

So, yesterday, on Father's Day no less, we traveled over to a friend's home to go swimming and hang out for awhile. As we were waiting in their driveway, we were letting the boys play in the van to pass the time. d2 had made his way to the drivers seat and was playing with the steering wheel and pressing BUTTONS. When it was time to go, D1 closed the hatch on the back of the van and made his way to the front. Unbenownst to him, d2 had pushed the LOCK button during his playtime. We soon realized the van was locked, both sets of keys were in the van and so was d2. And it was about 90 degrees....Talk about a freak out!

Our friends immediately called AAA and 9-1-1 for help while we "coached" d2 into somehow getting the doors/windows open. Of course he thought we were playing a game when we were "cheering" him on to push the button. He had the lock button figured out, only he didn't understand to push it up rather than down. And with our particular style of van (or maybe b/c of some add-on feature that we didn't know about), if you push the lock button three times in a row, the van starts. So at this point, my child is not only locked in a hot van, he has the engine running. And no, the air wasn't left on so it didn't solve the heat problem...only gave me another fear of him messing with the steering column and putting it into drive (if that's possible without pressing the brake). By now I'm starting to freak and have bad scenarios pass through my brain because I notice sweat beads rolling down d2's forehead. D1 was just about to borrow a hammer to break the window when we coaxed d2 into rolling down the passenger window (less buttons to mesmorize him). He pushed it, I grabbed the window and pushed it down and got him outta there! PTL he was perfectly fine but WOW what a scary event! I've heard the stories before but when you are in the drivers seat (excuse the pun), it's a whole different stream of emotions! So, word to the wise (not that anyone would ever do this!), keep your keys on you at all times and keep the kids out of the drivers seat!
