Last night was a kinda sleepless night. Between Lyle and Levi and Joy each having a I need my Mama now session I felt like just about the time I was in real sleep someone woke up and had a cuddle and a cry.
So I was finally all warm and sleepy and I felt like I was being stared at I opened my eyes and JoyAna our 4 1/2 yo was sitting there looking at me and she told me she needed some dark chocolate to feel better.
Umm Sweet Child Chocolate is not doled out at 4:15 am. Lie down close your eyes and sleep NOW!
One hour later Livi bounced in and woke everyone up. Not bad. Only 15 minutes before I usually get up. But having all the littles up I decided we should feed the dogs and then all cuddle on the living room floor.
As I was reading to them and enjoying coffee. Joy asked if she could have her chocolate now. No chocolate sister.
This is when she stood up put her hands on her hips and told me all matter of factly. "Mama I am four years old and I get what I want, and I want Dark Chocolate Now Please!".
Yeah I don't think so Sister.
She was not amused at all that she was not winning this one. So she went over to the lazyboy and curled up and fell asleep for 3 hours!

Love it. I think she's going to do just fine for herself in this life. She certainly knows how to assert herself. And she seems to handle disappointment/delayed gratification just fine!
whats with the dark chocolate? Is she specifically aware of the health benefits? Would you have given her white chocolate ? 
so interesting
Too cute! Rachel is right, I don't think you need to have any worries about this one.
Hee hee, can't blame a girl for trying. :)
:-D
She could have floated to the moon and back and she would not have gotten any chocolate of any kind. She love dark Chocolate We usually eat 80-90% dark Chocolate bars so she has had squares here and there and she loves it. I Also use chocolate to feel better so........................ But not at four in the morning.
