I went to Wal Mart by myself tonight while Jason and Cohen stayed home. I was talking to Jason in the parking lot while I was loading my groceries and as I was hanging up I heard Jason say "Cohen Doss." He immediately called back and said Cohen had locked himself in our bedroom. I told him to get a bobby pin and try to pick the lock. I drove home in about 5 minutes and he was still in there. He was kinda whining but doing OK. The lock on the doorknob was not the typical inside door lock. It had an opening for a key like a outside door and not just a hole. We found all the keys in the house and tried them. Then we were trying to stick small things in the keyhole but nothing was working. I called my dad to ask him if he knew of any keys to the bedroom door and he was driving home and was really close to our house so he said he would come help us. Cohen was still doing OK at this point kinda crying on and off and talking to us a little. When I looked under the door I noticed the light was off. He knows how to turn the light on and off so I kept telling him to turn it on. I went outside at one point to look in the windows (all the blinds were closed) and noticed that he kept turning the light on and off. My dad tried everything but tearing down the door, so we finally decided to call a locksmith. They got here really quickly and the guy put these pointy things in the lock and messed with it for close to 30 minutes. He also tried a couple different credit cards. He then called his friend and told him there was child in the room and asked if he could come help. So his friend arrived and he got the doorknob so loose that it was kinda just hanging there. By this time Cohen was terrified! He was crying so hard and was coughing and kept saying "momma and daddy." It was really hard to just stand there and do nothing. After the second guy worked on it for 30 minutes he asked if he could saw off the doorknob. We said of course and he went and got his saw and sawed off the doorknob so the inside was exposed. He then used some pliers and turned something and the door finally came open! Cohen just walked right out and I picked him up then he wanted to go to Poppy, then daddy, then Debbie. He was in there for a total of 2 hours! It was very exhausting but I am so happy he is OK. He stayed right by the door the whole time. The light was off because he had unplugged the lamp in there at some point. I would put my fingers under the door and then he would put his. We sang a little. He was a really good boy and I know he was scared while they were sawing and making a lot of noise. We love him very much!
