Commander-in-chief AKA Madisyn

So Madisyn woke up this morning at the ungodly hour of 5am. At about 6:30 she tells me that she wants to eat. I asked her what she wanted, and she told me "Pancakes, Eggs, Cheese". Remember, she's only 18 months old, but she definitely knows when she wants something. This seemed a little odd, as she isn't the biggest egg fan, so I double checked by asking her if she really wanted eggs - to which she responded yes and gave me the sign for egg, as to reinforce it for me.

So foolishly I proceeded to make her pancakes and scrambled eggs with cheese. We sat down to eat and she didn't touch ANY of it. Sigh. After sitting at the table for a while, we decided to try eating later.

About an hour later, she comes back up to me and says "Eat, eat!" Being smarter this time, I made her some yogurt with blueberries. However, while I was getting this ready for her, she is standing there telling me what to do! I couldn't believe it! She told me - Berries, berries - before I put them in her yogurt. Then, she tells me "spoon" so that I would get her spoon out. Last, she says "table, table" and runs to her seat. Seriously - who is directing who here? At least I know she'll be a leader!
