Like many toddlers, 18-month-old Colin Lambert is a handful who loves to crawl into tight spaces. However, on Tuesday the adorable tot had to be rescued by the fire department after he climbed into a toy vending machine.

Colin's grandmother Diane O'Neill says she was at a coin laundry shop in Maryville, Tennessee when she realized that her grandson was crawling into a claw toy vending machine.

It only took a few seconds while she was looking at her phone to check her text messages before Colin decided to take matters into his own hand in order to get a toy.

"All I could see was his feet. He had already crawled in," she tells NBC station WBIR. "I grabbed his feet and he kicked my hand and got in. Climbed up over the glass partition and sat down in the toys."

At first, she said she found it amusing and began snapping photos of Colin.

"As long as he was okay, it was funny," she told ABC News. "He thought it was fun, like, 'Look what I can do. I'm clever.' He was smiling until he wanted to get out, and then he became unhappy."

However, she then became worried.

"My biggest fear was that he was going to climb back over and try to get back out," she says. "The plastic they had that held the toys in is cracked and broken in several places. I was afraid he was going to try to climb over and get hurt."

Maryville firefighters were able to extract Colin in minutes. They also let him keep one of the toys from the machine.

Afterward, O'Neill told her daughter about the situation, who couldn't help but laugh.

"She shows me the picture and my husband and I start laughing because we're not surprised," said Colin's mother, according to WTHR. "It was a matter of time [before] he did something like this I figured," she said.
