Prevent Accidents Involving your Car and Toddler

Don, Julia and I went to the mall to buy a few items for Julia.  We were on our way to the parking area when Julia pooped.  We decided to clean her and changer her diaper inside the car instead of going to SM's changing station (not very child-friendly).

Inside the car, while I was cleaning Julia, Don was busy loading our grocery bags in the trunk.  He opened the windows open so the poop smell won't linger inside the car.  After loading, Don went back inside and asked me if we were ready leave.  I said yes.  I just finished cleaning and changing Julia's diaper.  I was putting on her her leggings when Julia started to cry.  I thought she was just getting impatient so I continued with what I was doing.  When she didn't stop crying, I looked up and saw her four tiny fingers stuck in the window!!!  I screamed, panicked and could not say anything.  I was just banging the car window.

Don was quick to realize that something was wrong.  After what happened, Don gave me a lecture on how staying calm can make us think and prevent further harm.  In hindsight, pushing the window control button was easier (and absolutely more effective) than what I did.  Julia?  She was sobbing, but managed to give us a little smile when we kissed her hand.
