I smiled big  and said excitedly, &#8220;Samuel! You opened the door!&#8221;  He smiled big too,  and shut it, then opened it about 5 times, giggling every time.  He was  so pleased with himself!<\/p>\n<p>This was a lot better of a 1st time opening a door than Anthony&#8217;s  experience.  The 1st time Anthony had learned how to open a door was  when I lay down to take a quick cat nap (think I was pregnant with  Benjamin).  Anthony had been playing in his room so I figured he would  be fine for 1\/2 hour.  Not too much later after closing my eyes (it  seemed) I heard my doorbell ring.  A neighbor that lives next to our  church (just a block away) had heard him in her front yard looking and  talking at her flowers.  It was fortunate his guardian angel(s) didn&#8217;t  let him get too far!  To this day my neighbor (who is now my Visiting  Teacher) said, &#8220;He just seemed so happy to be outside enjoying life!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s my Anthony and Samuel &#8211; they LOVE to be outside.<br \/>\nTime to get those child-proof door knob locks back on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A mom usually has two places in the house that she can have time to herself; the shower and the toilet.
