I took the boys to the library today. Which is really nothing out of the ordinary.
They each finished their summer reading logs - logging in over 15 hours of reading. I'm pretty sure we've read way more than that, but I always forget to give them the stickers to add to the charts and they usually forget to remind me.
Anyway, I took the boys to the library today. Which is really nothing out of the ordinary.
Except. I was looking for a few books for myself - not just browsing - I had a list (Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert and something by Philipa McGregory).
Anyway, I was looking for a few books for myself and the boys were actually being pretty well behaved. In each aisle I spent time looking the boys would each find one of the little step stools provided and stand up on the top step and just sort of hang out. Perfect. They weren't bothering anybody, they weren't yelling at or pushing each other - they were just sort of hanging out.
Except my younger one - he doesn't just hang out. Quinn says to me, "hey, mom - watch this," so I look over at him to see him start to climb. "No way, put your foot down." I look past Quinn over at Liam. And Liam's step stool is empty - because he's up on the shelf.
I am not even kidding. He climbed up two shelves. From the step stool.
Thank goodness nobody else saw that - I wouldn't want to be banned from the library.
Oh right, and thank goodness the kid didn't get hurt.

Too bad you didn't have your camera. That would have made for an awesome shot. And, yes, it's very good nobody got hurt. And that you didn't lose your library privileges.
