The Cutest Thing Ever!

As promised I am delivering the story of the cutest thing ever. As a preface to this story I must tell you that Elise has a bedtime routine of getting her bottle in the guest bed in her room. After that she falls asleep cuddling with us. We sneak out and after she has been asleep for awhile we put her in her crib, so she doesn't roll off the bed. I'll tell you about the cabin story that is related after The Cutest Thing Ever!

A long time ago now Elise was put to bed in the guest bed in her room. Stephanie and I then went out into the living room to watch some TV. Around 11pm Stephanie went to bed and I went to play on my computer. As I am busy killing mutants or something I hear a soft thump and pitter patter, pitter patter, pitter patter. I figured since it was a soft thump it was a cat, but it was that super cute pixie Elise. She came running out to the living room to surprise us on the couch. When we were not there she turned and started running to our bedroom, but she saw me in the library and raised her arms in triumph with the biggest "Look what I can do!" grin. She was so proud of herself. It was The Cutest Thing Ever!

I admit it loses something in the telling, but I was so happy for her I felt bad about putting her back to bed (in her crib this time.) I only wish I had a camera handy because she was so proud of herself.

Now we know she has learned how to get off the bed or couch on her stomach. She just rolls over, droops her legs over the edge and slides off. Sometimes she ends up on her feet, sometimes she ends up on her butt, but she is down.
