My Stealthy Ninja

Up until very recently, Katie has had a strange habit of refusing to get out of her bed. When she wakes up in the morning, she will talk to herself for a few minutes, or more, and then she starts calling for us. 'Daddy! Daddy! Daaaaddy!' If Jeff doesn't go for her right away, then she busts out the 'Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooommy!' We can call to her, tell her its OK to get up, etc., and she won't do it. As soon as you go in her room and stand by her bed she'll get up. We always kind of chuckled when she would do this because she could just get up if she wanted to and not have to wait, but she wouldn't. That is, until now. The last two or three days, she has decided to get up on her own. The thing of it is, she has dispensed with her early morning chit chat and just gets up. So we think she is asleep and all the sudden, like a stealthy little pink-footie-pajama-wearing blond afro-puff-sporting ninja, she is there at your feet. Yikes!
