Ellie is angry, not so much when she's awake, but when she goes to sleep (it's a mcguire gene i think) :)the other night she had fallen asleep with me on the couch, and she had her new sandals on that she's going to wear when the girls go to FL, she had been wearing them ALL DAY. So i take her to her bed, put her in and gently remove her sandals, knowing that if she senses me taking them off it's OVER (she's got a shoe-fetish already, again a mcguire gene. Her aunt jenny even works for Nike... crazy mcguires)
So i get the shoes off successfully and think i'm in the clear when she starts up, and yells, "give it back to me! give it back to me!" not sure what to do, because i have NO hopes that i could actually put the shoes back on without making her totally awake, i sit there with my eyes darting around the room for possible options. She's still yelling "give it back to me!" with her eyes half closed so i decide to hand her one shoe. "Maybe holding them will assuage her majesty's anger?" i think.
So then she takes the shoe in between her two hands, almost cradling it, she puts it up to her mouth and makes two loud sucking noises... "what the h---?" i'm thinking?
Then she shakes a little and pulls it away from her mouth and says, "eeeaaaaahhhh! why'd you do that?!?"
by now i'm lost, no idea what has just happened, then it dawns on me, "she thought i was giving her her sippie cup" I look at the shoe and the back side of it is totally wet from where she put it in her mouth and tried to draw some water out of it. "Oh great!" I think, "i've just taken this shoe fetish thing to a whole new level!" I look back at her and she's sleeping again...
hopefully she'll forget this ever happened!

I'm not to sure about any kind of fetish at my house but my sister is pretty amazing when she is asleep. She'll talk about anything and will start yelling at herself (in her sleep) for saying that stuff.
Also, one time when we were little (nichole was about two years older than ellie) my mom put her to bed and within 20-30 minutes she came walking out of her room and walked into the kitchen. My mom and dad were on the couch watching TV and were watching her and wondering what was going on.
So my mom walked into the kitchen and asked her what she was doing. By this time she was trying to climb into this blue cabinet we had. While still trying to climb in she told my mom she was trying to go to the bathroom. So if my mom wouldnt have stopped her there would have eben a big mess.
Thats about as exceiting as it gets around our house, i dont talk in my sleep unless im sick or extremley uncomfortable so no stories about me =P
Oh no, a shoe fetish.
Dion - break her of that quick. Shoes are expensive. If it keeps getting worse you may not be able to marry her off. No guy will be able to afford that shoe adiction. hehe.
There is a general rule I live by. Never date a girl with more than 100 pairs of shoes. You may think I am nuts when I say 100 pairs but hey... they are not as uncommon as I once thought.
hehe....you said h___
megan, you totally just wrote "totally", thats totally awesome. I totally miss you. totally.
