Ellie was cleaning her room this afternoon and decided to store a toy on the top shelf of the hutch on her dresser.  I heard her calling me from the other room when she realized she was not going to get down by herself.  I was shocked to see this little wisp of a person (at least size-wise, personality-wise she is a powerhouse) sitting on her dresser waiting to be rescued.

After my initial shock, I expained that she can’t climb on her dresser and I tipped it a bit so she could see what would happen…

I said, “phhew, sometimes you really scare Mama.”

Ellie replied, “phhhew, sometimes I really scare myself.”

Ellie helped me put something away this afternoon.

I said, “thanks for helping your old mom.”

Ellie said, “You not an old mama, you is a nice mama!”

It’s nice to have a fan!
