Stuck

Last Wed. I was asked to pick up my youngest grand daughter Holly from preschool and keep her at my house until her Mom could pick her up. I do this quite often and she loves to come to our house (it could be the snacks) and play with the toys we have here for her. Anyway...while I was making her lunch she was sitting on the bar stool at the kitchen counter. All of a sudden she said...her foot was stuck in the chair. No problem I thought...just turn her foot n pull it out...NOT!!!!  Every time I tried to push her foot through she cried n said it hurt.  I got a saw and was trying to cut the slat but I couldn't get enough leverage, I even tried to hammer the darn thing out...but it would not budge.  I called her Dad (he works from home) and told him my dilemma.  He came right over. He twisted n turned Holly's foot but to  avail...our last attempt was to put Vaseline on her foot and hope it would slide through. Before we could get the Vaseline on she turned her body around and her foot slid right out!!! thank goodness.  Never a dull moment with kids!  I told my daughter to be sure n put this in her baby book for future reference. I got a few more gray hairs from this one!
           While we were waiting for help to arrive, Holly ate her butter n mustard sandwich! She 
           was very patient.
                                   Daddy to the rescue. Now I can finish my lunch!!!!
