You Can Sit Down When I Say So
Join Ella, a spirited toddler with a big personality, as she navigates the bustling life of her cozy Utah home. Ella faces a big challenge—she can't bear when her Mama sits down! With obstacles aplenty, from phone calls to lively siblings, Ella's determination is tested. Will Ella learn to share her Mama's time, or will she always be the boss of when Mama sits?
Ella's cozy home is bustling with life. But there's a problem—Mama just wants to sit and drink her coffee! Ella, with her wild brown hair and tiny purse, decides that Mama can only sit when she says so. The stakes are high for Ella because her world feels right when Mama's always moving. Mama's tired eyes tell a different story.
Mama attempts a moment of stillness, but Ella charges in, demanding her attention. The first obstacle arises—Mama's coffee spills as Ella clings to her leg like a tiny, affectionate sloth. - "No sitting, Mama!" Ella insists, giggling. Mama sighs, trying to balance affection and her coffee. The morning mission to keep Mama moving has begun.
Obstacles multiply as the day goes on. - "Mama, up!" Ella declares, while Mama juggles a phone call. Siblings add to the chaos, with Kaleb flexing toy dumbbells and Amanda reading aloud. Ella's determination grows as she climbs into Mama's lap, interrupting the call. - "No calls, only play!" Ella announces, her voice full of toddler authority.
Just as things settled, the rest of the family joined the action. Kaleb, Ella’s big brother, walked in flexing a toy dumbbell, striking a silly bodybuilder pose. Amanda sat cross-legged on the floor, reading a picture book, while Mia helped Ella stack rainbow-colored blocks. It was noisy, a little messy, and full of laughter. Jessica sat on the couch, coffee in hand, finally enjoying the show—until Ella noticed and climbed right back into her lap like the queen reclaiming her throne.
Just as Ella is about to let go, Mama offers a solution. - "Let's play together, then we rest," Mama suggests with a warm smile. Ella's eyes widen with realization—she can have Mama's attention and still share her with others. This epiphany lights up her face, and she agrees with a happy nod. - "Okay, play then rest!" Ella exclaims, her determination renewed.
With newfound understanding, Ella and Mama enjoy their playtime, and soon it's time to wind down. Ella, feeling content, snuggles into Mama's arms as they settle into the glider. - "You can sit now, Mama," Ella whispers sleepily, her eyelids heavy. Mama smiles lovingly, knowing they've found balance. Peaceful and warm, they both drift into a well-deserved rest.
