On Sunday we put up our Christmas tree. We are using our artificial one this year since we will not be home for Christmas. Anyway, as I was putting the lights on the tree, Elle asked if she could help. So she held one end of the lights and I held the other and we carefully walked around the tree in circles until we got to the bottom. Once we were done, I told her to step up onto the fireplace and go around the tree to get out of the corner. Somehow when she stepped up onto the fireplace, she lost her balance, crashing to the floor and grabbing the tree on her way down. She landed on the floor with the tree on top of her.
Later on that night we were eating dinner, actually I was eating dinner by myself because Wade was out watching the Bears game and Elle was watching tv in the basement. I'm sitting there eating and watching some Christmas show and she comes bouncing up from the basement with my phone on her ear.
E: "Hi Mom...I'm talking to Erby (Erin)."
M: "Tell her I said hi. Come sit and eat your pizza."
She sits down next to me and she is still talking on the phone.
I snap out of my tv coma just in time to hear her say " Oops, I have to call you back Erby, the phone is all wet."
That's because she dunked it in her cup of water. Grrrrrr!
The good news is the phone still works, I guess it was not under water long enough.
After the phone bath, I was in the kitchen cleaning up from dinner and I hear a crash in the living room. I run in to find her curled up perfectly still with the Christmas tree on top of her again! The funny thing is, she stayed completely still until I moved the tree off her and then she bounced up and said "I'm ok!"
