Dennis is in a bossy phase right now. He told me to lie down on the couch and said "go to sleep, Mommy, close your eyes." I complied (hey, a little nap is always welcome) and he said "now go like this Mommy: zzzzzzzzz". So I pretended to snore (this cracks him up). He announced "Mommy's snugging" (his word for snoring) and dissolved in a fit of giggles. I peeked and he said "NO! Close your eyes right now Mommy" and I closed them again. He then jumped on me and yelled "SURPRISE!" and then told me to go to sleep again and close my eyes again. You think I'd learn, but no, I complied. He waited a minute and then leaned in and shouted "WAKE UP MOMMY, WAKE UP RIGHT NOW!!!". I opened my eyes and he said "let's eat breakfast". Note: this did not take place in the morning.
This morning, when I first heard him calling me (6:45), I stumbled blearily to his door and he pointed that chubby little finger in the direction of the kitchen and said "go get baby wipes and chocolate milk and my sippy cup". As I wandered toward the kitchen he called out "good morning, Mommy, I want a strawberry Pop-Tart for breakfast, bring it here". It was just easier to take him to his high chair and let him enjoy his feast there. He did get some grapes and cheese along with the sugary stuff--I'm not all bad!
