Despite these misgivings, she still enthusiastically climbs up the slide, but then won’t go down without an escort. On a recent trip she seemed to be willing to handle the slide on her own. In this picture I’m reminding her that she has changed her mind about solo sliding for the last 20 or so attempts. She assures me she will do it herself.
As usual, I follow her up the ladder to prevent any nasty consequences from her loosing her footing. We’ve had her do this twice, and nothing reminds you of the proper role of a parent like catching your child as she falls from a 15 foot tall ladder. Oddly, she is not a bit afraid of the ladder...
She finally arrives at the top of the slide, and guess what? She changes her mind.
After assurances and persuasion, she is unmoved. Her majesty then decides to send an unequivocally clear signal on her position.
There’s always next time…

She has got to be the cutest kid of all time! I saw some pants the other day that I wanted to buy her but didn't know her size.
of course she changed her mind....she's a woman....a very small one, but still a woman...

i remember getting stuck in a treehouse and being absoluetly terrified- and it was only about 6 ft. off the ground...and i was 9...
She's so funny. Don't take this as a criticism, but I don't really know why you have the private blog. I thought you were going to post stuff like this on it. I just mention it b/c sometimes I forget to check this one and there are such stories on it.
