Lock and Key

Clark LOVES to go outside. Whenever he sees Tanner or I putting on our shoes, he goes and gets his and throws them at us. If I pick up the keys and he hears them jingle, he goes on autopilot and heads straight for the front door where he stomps his feet in excitement. Today, Clark found my keys and immediately headed straight for the front door. Tanner could hear him jingling the keys, but since he can't reach the doorknob yet, the chances of him escaping were slim. Suddenly, Tanner no longer heard the keys jingling, but then he heard Clark clapping. Eventually, Clark wandered back into the family room and began playing with his other toys. A few minutes later, Tanner got up to go to our bedroom, and as he glanced toward the front door on his way, he saw why Clark was so pleased with himself.
