That girl is messed UP! 4 years old, face of an angel, attitude of a redhead. 
She got up when Daddy got up. I get up an hour later to find her fencing with the cat, flyswatter versus tail. "And don't MAKE me repeat myself!" I ask politely if Mommy can have 5 minutes to enjoy some coffee. "Nooooooooo!" "Did you sleep okay?" 
"I slept okay, I woke up CRAzEEEEEEEEE!" She is now hunting the cat, yelling "Sabotage! SAboTAGEEE!" and the flyswatter is the rifle. The girl had cake for breakfast, insists the cat is hiding in the microwave. 
I am SOOO glad her brother is at school today. We're supposed to have a girls day and bake in a couple of hours (after school). We'll see how that goes. We may be hunting cats in Africa instead 
Just had to share my *interesting* morning.
Too funny. I miss those days when their imaginations are so active! My daughter is 10 so she's usually just grumpy when she wakes up. But her brother is only 1 so I have more "interesting" mornings to look forward to! LOL
Enjoy your cat hunt this afternoon and hopefully you can sneak some baking in when you send her on a safari!

It's a good thing the cat is still a kitten, that's all I can say. They just started watching a movie, the cat is trying to escape but "cats like movies, Mommy." She has all her claws, I'm not too worried about either of them. Innocent little kitty attacks feet while we are sleeping, so it's all good! Going to do my fondant now! Final projects have to wait, cake is calling.
That's definitely more fun than what went on here. My 4 yr old spent all night crying and trying to stay awake. He doesn't like to sleep. He has huge circles under his eyes and they are puffy. I've been trying to explain to him that everyone needs sleep. He hates sleeping even though not sleeping makes him sick.
Oh, it's no fun when they don't want to sleep. Luckily we've gotten past that stage.
She made lunch today. Cheese and pickle sandwiches with mayonaise. Alrighty, you make it, I'll eat it. Can't not eat it when she has to eat my cooking, right?
So far she has been a huge help. My purple roses are supposed to be bigger and red and have a real stem. I didn't use the "right" petal cutter. My Christmas angel (practice) has been flying through the house at about 3 ft high. The cat is happy, she finally gets a break. Daddy just called, he's on his way home - his turn to entertain her!
butterflyjuju: I just had a client bring their little boy in to talk to the vet I work with . . . turns out, a neighbor had euthanized their dog just a few days before and when they explained the process to their child they used the term "putting to sleep." Well . . . now bedtime is a nightmare! They finally figured out what had freaked him out and brought him in for our vet to explain to him what really took place . . . he doesn't want to listen to mommy and daddy now sinced they botched the last discussion. Just a thought . . .
No he hasn't heard that. He has never liked sleeping from birth on up. Imagine a 2 month old throwing a fit because he was tired. Yep that was my son.
