Ok so this one is really short, but I don't have a lot of time to write it. I'm babysitting and the boy I'm watching should be waking up from his nap any minute.
Disclaimer: No, I don't own Ghost Whisperer...but I do own Maryanne and Dan.
--In this chapter, Maryanne is 5 and Dan is 1--
Melinda was downstairs in the kitchen when she heard a crash come from Maryanne's room upstairs.
"Are you ok?" She shouted, running up to her daughters room. When she opened the door she found a very determined Maryanne jumping up and down trying to reach something on her bookshelf, and a pile of books lying on the ground below her.
"Maryanne, what are you trying to do?" She asked.
"I want my bear!" She shouted, pointing to her stuffed bear that was sitting on the shelf just above her reach.
"Here, let me get it down for you." Melinda offered, walking over to her and reaching up for it.
"No! I wanna get it myself!" Maryanne exclaimed, obviously very determined to do this all by herself.
Melinda, curious as to how Maryanne was going to pull this off, watched as her daughter continued to jump up and down - never quite able to reach that bear.
"Are you sure you don't want my help?" Melinda asked. When she didn't respond, Melinda assumed she was just concentrating so hard she didn't hear her. This continued on for several minutes, and each attempt by Maryanne failed.
Finally admitting defeat, she turned around to face her mom, sighed, and said "Fine."
"Here, how about I just help you so you can get it down yourself?" Melinda said, picking her daughter up and lifting her just high enough to reach that previously out-of-reach shelf. Maryanne happily grabbed her bear, excited that she was technically the one who got it down.
"Thank you mommy."
So what do you guys think? Review please!
