We were at Target today and Audrey was pointing at something saying pretty.  I steered the cart over to where she was pointing and she grabbed this wooden bead necklace (it was a dress up toy).  I let her hold it because I always let her hold on to something to keep her happy/occupied while I get done what I need to get done and usually she loses interest in it after about 5 minutes and throws it either out of the cart or into the cart and she wants nothing to do with it.  This wasn't the case this time.  I was getting ready to leave and she had put the necklace down next to her on the seat of the cart, so while she was distracted I took it and put it back.  This is when the screaming started all the way to the car.  I mean screaming, tears pouring down her face, turning purple, not taking breaths kind of screaming.  Boy was I getting dirty looks like I had done something horrible to her.  I didn't really care because I knew I was right and she can't have everything she wants, but i really hate when people do that, but that's a different post all together.  Back to my point, I thought for sure I had more time to have a sweet little girl who didn't really "want" anything, but I guess it comes with the terrible two, which, yes she has already hit.  Oh boy, I am so in for it...sigh.
