Last night, around 2 AM, I heard blood-curdling screams coming from Audrey's room. I rushed in there to find her, after my eyes adjusted, caught between her bed rail and her mattress. She was standing on the floor, but still laying her head on her pillow.
Once she realized I was there, she changed her tune.
She immediately quit screaming and begun begging "Lil hep here?!? Lil hep here?!?"
It took me a minute to compose myself, as I had burst out laughing, and I couldn't even stand up straight, let alone lift her 25 pound body from its entrapment.
She fell back asleep immediately after I laid her across her bed properly. But, it took me a good twenty minutes to settle down myself.

This morning, after taking Madelyn to school, the girls were sitting in their chairs, coloring.
Hannah says, "I need a drink!"
"Well," I reply. "You have a bottle of water in the fridge for your own personal use."
"Get it for me?"
"No. I am not your servant."
"But, Mommy! I thought we were best friends?!?"
I brought her the bottle of water. She had never used the word 'friend' towards me and it brought a chuckle to me how she used to so manipulatively.
But, I won't let it happen again. It was just so cute.
