Not a baby anymore...

Today started off as an ordinary day. Aydan and I got up, had some milk, watched Blue's Clues and got ready to start our day. Well it seems as though Aydan gained some height overnight because he was able to reach a little bit higher today.
As I went out to start the car, my little monkey decided to lock the door behind me. My heart sank a few inches when I heard the sound of the lock turning. My keys, my cell phone and my baby were left inside. After trying to convince him to open the door, I realized he just didn't understand.
While I was running around outside the house to check on him, my baby was busy playing ball, looking through the dvds and just hanging out. He managed to reach on top of the counter, for the first time and get my vitamins, shake them around and dance. He opened the kitchen drawer, took out some spoons and banged them together. He was having a great time and I was panicking.
I had two great neighbors who helped keep me calm until we got the door open. And when I got inside, Aydan looked up at me and said 'Mama, open door!' How could I be mad when he was so innocent?
Today I realized, Aydan really isn't a baby anymore. He was alone and he was okay but I wasn't. Today was just a taste of what is to come and honestly I"m alittle afraid.
