Guest guest Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 I am in need of help/ideas from all the moms who have traveled this road before me. I just had the worst scare of my life. My two little girls were playing upstairs quietly, I thought. I was trying to do school with the 7 yr old. I asked my mom to go check on the girls and she couldn't find them, then she realized the front door was open. My 2 year old has in the past few days learned how to open doors and my 4 yr old (with Ds) will gladly follow her sister anywhere. We just moved into a new house that has an overflow pond and stream behind it. I found my two little girls had walked to the back of the house and over to the pond. Sophia (Ds) was standing at the edge of the pond with her feet in the water! I think my heart stopped for a few seconds. I ran to them as fast as I could and grabbed Sophia away from the water. It's going to take me a while to calm down and recover from this. But now I need advice on how to keep them safe. Door alarms? Gates covering the front door? New locks? The biggest obstacle will be my four older boys who go in and out of the door ALL THE TIME. I've got to come up with a way to keep the door secured with all the in and out of the older kids. Theres no way they will lock the door every time they go out- any suggestions? Ruby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
