A compromise

Somewhere between the "standing on the chair" position that she prefers and the "sitting in the chair" position that I prefer, we developed this compromise position: Perching on the chair. She's still likely to knock her noggin if she falls, but at least she won't have as far to go.

Sadly, Ellie's all about knocking her noggin this week. Earlier in the week she hit her ear on the corner of the bookshelf, turning it a alarming shade of purple. Yesterday she tripped while we were outside and scraped her little chin, and then just this morning she scraped her forehead on the guard we keep around the heater. The kid's a bruiser, I'm telling you!
