Umm... yeah, not so cute anymore.
The Mouse is lacking in the verbal skills department. But why speak when she can exercise her lungs.
All. Day. Long.
She has turned into a screamer.
(Which, if applied in the proper situations much MUCH later in life, will make some man very happy one day.)
Her screams have now become synonymous with any and every request that a Toddler can possibly think up in a 24 hour period.

No, no, no. I don't want you to actually read this book.
I want you to turn the pages.
Like I am a speed reader.
NO. You're turning the pages too fast. I can't see the pictures!
Start over.
I don't want you to turn the pages.
I want to do it myself.
These pages are too thin. I can't turn them.
Turn the pages for me.

She's not the only one.

We have one of those here too, those toddler girl things. Who is awake. After 15 minutes' nap. Will she stay awake? I hope not. I am pretending she is still asleep. At least she is not screaming at the moment. But it will happen...oh, it will happen.
that was a hilarious post! Maybe I'm laughing b/c its a little too close to home... my son is getting pretty ornery in his toddlerdom too.
