Calling all available toddler angels...

you are needed at Austin's side.

Just like many other afternoons, I had lots of things to carry in from the car when I got Austin home from school.  I got Austin out of the carseat and loaded up.  Austin immediately climbed onto Daddy's motorcycle trailer.  Awkwardly, I tried to get him off the trailer with my available hand so he wouldn't fall.  That accomplished, we head into the garage.  Austin picks up the motorcycle helmet and starts to put it on.  Trying to avoid Austin dropping the helmet, I finagled it off him with the same one available hand and turned to put it on the workbench.  In the approximately 0.75 seconds it took me to do that, Austin picked up a box cutter.  With one little hand over where the blade pops out, he managed to pop out said blade somehow avoiding all skin just as I took that from him with my newly available one hand.  I dropped the box cutter on the workbench (this probably took 0.25 seconds) and turned to find Austin halfway up the motorcycle.  He decided he wanted to ride it.  Since the motorcycle is precariously balanced on its side with motor entrails spilling onto the garage floor, I didn't think a ride was a great idea.  Oh, and did I mention I only had one hand free to catch Austin if he were to fall off precariously balanced bike?  Same awkward shuffle used to get him off the trailer worked to get him off the motorcycle.  At this point, my one available hand didn't leave his back as I "ushered" him towards the door to the house.  We finally get to the door with no injuries, and I find that Austin has locked the door from the inside.  I have to remove my one available hand from Austin to get the key.  Before I can get the key into the lock, Austin has decided to climb the six foot ladder, which is leaning against the garage wall.  Somehow, and I'm really not sure at this point which body part I used, I kept the ladder from falling on top of him.  Then, we went in the house.

This was my 25 foot walk into the house this afternoon.
