She's absolutely adorable. No doubt about it. And she's actually incredibly smart to boot, but hides it very well. In fact, sometimes she acts downright...well...blonde.Sister has always been easily distracted. As a temperamental toddler, I could always divert her attention whenever I sensed a meltdown coming on.
And sometimes, it still works.
Last night I promised the kids I would make them hot chocolate for breakfast this morning. Sister did not forget.
"Hey, Mom! Let's have hot chocolate this morning!" she says, her voice getting that squeaky-like quality it gets when she becomes excited.
"Great idea!" I say, mimicking her excitement.
We head to the kitchen to get started and she has a brilliant plan. "Let's have snacks with our hot chocolate!!"
"Like what?" I ask.
"Cookies!" comes the reply, increasing in excitement and pitch.
Cookies for breakfast. That is a brilliant plan.
"No!" I answer, still matching her giddiness.
"How about Candy??!!" she says, acting as though she has just stumbled upon a miracle cure for cancer.
See what I mean? Genius.
"No!" is my jubilant answer. "How about CHEERIOS?!" I ask with zeal and fervor, clapping my hands for affect.
"YEAH!" she shouts, jumping up and down like I've just handed her the keys to Toys R Us.
Sometimes it's just too easy.

It's all in the tone of voice. I'm sure if you would have squealed and giggled "How about broccoli?", she would have agreed.
I love it, it's too cute.
She is cute as a button. I gotta get firmer. I would have probably caved at cookies!!!
HOW ADORABLE!

If you ever want to get rid of her, you know my number. :) She is so hysterical! She keeps me laughing. And she couldn't be cuter if she tried. I could just hear her little voice in your story.
Cunning! I love it!
