How 15 Month-Olds Terrify Their Parents

Friday night, we had a family outing to Home Depot for various and sundry things – weed killer, plants for the yard, shelving brackets, etc. We looked around for a good while for the right kind of brackets for the project Scott was undertaking, and while she waited, Leah entertained herself with the ones we had already chosen.

Yeah. How terrified were we? Pretty much scared us out of our wits. Fortunately, it came right off, and she did it again….which was when I took this picture. (I’m not that terrible – I did at least make sure we weren’t in serious crisis mode before I broke out the camera!) Scott and I both had flashes in our minds of having to run to get some bolt cutters or a hack saw to get this thing off of our daughter’s neck. Fortunately, none of that was necessary, and the little one was able to stay entertained for the rest of the trip (which was a very, very good thing, since it was dangerously close to bedtime and we’re never out that late).

She was a happy camper. Silly girl – I don’t know why everything she gets her hands on instantly becomes a necklace. We really are going to have to keep our eyes on that little habit.

For your entertainment, here are more shots of Leah’s adventures in Home Depot:

What a charterer :)
So oblivious to the near drama she created!

Scary. Watch those cords on the mini blinds. Maybe she will be a jewlery girl.
