The toddler is finally brave enough for me to set her down in the quiet, peaceful public library. Which is great because it makes carrying the stack of books a little easier on mama. 

Unfortunately, it also means she is free to pull things off of shelves. 

And not just anything. She usually chooses a heavy magazine box full of paperbacks on the tallest shelf she can reach. Because who doesn’t love pulling heavy things down onto their own face?

Of course I intervened. 

Which resulted in a knock down drag out run screaming to the nearest book shelf and bite the books toddler tantrum. 

You know those pictures of toddlers throwing fits with the captions about the ridiculous reasons behind the tantrum? I so wanted a picture with the caption “I wouldn’t let her pull a heavy box of books down onto her face.”  

But my phone was in the car because my hands were full of books. So. That’s the story of the picture I didn’t take today.
