Important to her

I was cleaning today in Ella's room while she was gone.

I pulled back her covers to find this.

She likes to sneak things in bed with her at night and this

is actually mild compared to some of the piles of junk I

have found in her sheets.

 Sometimes it is what she was playing with that day and

other times it is completely random things to fill the space.

She started doing this when we moved her from a single bed to

a double, so maybe it just makes the bed feel full to her.



So then I opened her bedside drawer, and I found

these treasures. Glitter glue, sunglasses, old cell phones,

tooth fairy pillow, jewelry, hair clips, dolls, and much more I'm sure.

So although I may not understand and I often get tired of picking

it all up, these are the things that my four year old holds dear.

They are important to her, and that is what matters.
