Charlotte is the most difficult person to wake in the morning... next to her mom! She takes after me to a T. Even right down to her uncanny ability to naturally shout out things like "leave me alone", "go away mommy!", "don't wake me" and "get out of here!" while trying to wake her. By the age of 32, I've managed to curb it to very simple, yet profound, "five more minutes" - but, alas... it's takes time to develop that diplomacy and panache :) The three year old reaction is real! And exactly what I want to say.... :) (wait... maybe Brian should be writing this post....)
Well, today she woke up in a very grumpy mood!! And just wouldn't shake it off! She was full equipped with her bravado listed above, and begged me to leave her alone and go shower (and I couldn't be rid of that fast!). I put her back to bed to start a do-over - much to her dismay... finally I exited and left to get ready while she and Brian carried on their morning. And no sooner than just a few minutes later, this little sprite bops into my bathroom while I'm getting ready and looks right up at me with a big smile and said "I'm not sad anymore. Good morning!" and gave me a kiss. I picked her up, she gave me a hug and a kiss, and told her I loved her... and she hugged me and kissed me right back and told me she loved me. And then bopped back into her room. Just like that - minutes post-WWIII she's as peaceful as can be and carrying on her normal day.
I shudder to think what the mornings will be like when she's 13.

Too funny! She's so full of personality and I just love hearing all about her!!
I shudder to think what mornings will be like when she is 13 and you are 43! :)
I don't blame her. I don't like getting out of bed either. Priorities!
