NO!

This morning Nate and I went into Annabel's room to wake her up. Now we are sane, and normally would never wake her up before she gets up on her own. But on Wednesdays, we both have to scurry off to class and work and have to get her to the babysitter along the way. Normally when we wake her up, she has this adorable way of silently and immediately standing right up, ready to start her day. But this morning, we tiptoed in (because we love seeing her impossibly cute sleeping self before we wake her up) and found her sprawled on her tummy - her normal sleeping position. Nate gently said, "Good morning, Annabel," and I put my hand on her back. After a longer-than-usual moment, she stirred and sighed and looked up slightly, then loudly said, "NO!" -- and proceeded to continue laying perfectly still, with her eyes closed. I continued rubbing her back, but nope, she wasn't moving! I hope I'm capturing how hilarious this was. My very own grumpy, not-waking-up daughter, following right in her Mommy's footsteps. I don't blame her one bit.
