Day 3- She landed on the blinds

Day 4- she landed in the chandelier

Day 5 - she was at the top of the steps with a note from Santa- saying he got that message that she was having trouble listening

Day 6- landed in Melinda's room with sunglasses, a cracker, and a juice box

Day 7 - playing w/ grand-pa's generic kindle--using earphones--to not disturb anyone--and stole Barbie's dress
