First Tree Climbed

 You know how not too long ago, Mary Ella wanted to climb a mountain and go behind a waterfall?  Well, recently her little adventurous heart has been set on climbing a tree.  And she has tried on occasion to get me to help her climb some impossible ones.  But yesterday at the park, she again said that she wanted to climb a tree.  I said without thinking, "I don't think you can climb any of these trees."  And then I was like, "Wait a minute, there is one right there that is actually perfect for climbing."  I talked her through the right branches to reach for and where to put her feet, but she did the rest all by herself.  The only time she freaked out a little is when she saw ants on it, and I was like you're in a tree monkey, of course there are ants on it. ;)

Of course I had to go get my camera once she was safely secured.

She sat down on this branch and gave me her hand to jump down.

Way to go ME!
