Placed in Stories

So, today is my little sister's birthday. She has only been in my life for four years, and already I cannot imagine what it would be like without her! She is such an amazing little girl, with a crazy personality! She loves to make people laugh, and she is good at it! She knows she is cute, and she uses it to her advantage! She is one of the smartest little girls I have ever met! This is a paper I wrote on her...

     I will never forget when my little sister, at the age of two, displayed one of the first and definitely most memorable signs of her character, to which we have grown so accustomed.

     One day during the familiar scene of Mom talking with her daughters as she put up her hair, our clumsy mother committed the unfortunate act of stubbing her toe on the corner of the bedroom door. Instantly, her foot flew up into her hands and she began to hop in circles uttering soft cries of pain. My sisters and I were sympathetic, having done the same thing many times before, but Cady found it superbly amusing. Smiling mischievously, she drew the door gently into her own toe, and began to hop in circles identical to the ones performed just moments before. “Oww, oh, owow,” she mimicked sarcastically, grinning impishly. After a moment of stunned silence, we began to laugh at her cruel mockery of our mothers’ former agony, thoroughly pleasing the little elf before us.

The above is her kind of humor. She takes someone's pain, and turns it into something funny. She refuses to let anyone leave without first receiving a hug from her (which makes me late for things sometimes) so that she "won't miss them to much." In fact, she is positive that once she has hugged that person, she will not miss them until they leave her again. One of Book's very close friends left for College this year, and she misses her terribly. CJ loved her very much too, but one day another one of my younger sisters was asking her if she missed "Tasha" and she said very decidedly "No. Because I hugged her before she left, so I don't miss her." I love my little sister!

These are post that I have written about her in years past. I will start from the bottom and go up...

This was when she was 1, I think.

*mysterious voice* She thinks it's safe...but we all know...and now you will to.

It all started when she could just barly toddle about, she tripped over my leg and said, very clearly..."Ow, that hurt!" (more like "Ow! dat hort" but still.)

She can speak in very clear sentences, if we catch her off guard. And she can open doors! No matter how much she trys she can't fool us. I know she opens doors 'cuz my little sister [name here] shut the door to her room, all the way! And when she turned around...the door was wide open, and my baby sister was standing there! *psycho theme*

I also think she might be able to read...but I have no evidence. Yet!

This was later on in the year...

I have seen my baby sister open doors constaintly, so that is fairly normal now, if not annoying. She can also lock up the whole van while we think she is sleeping peacefully in her carseat. (with the the keys inside I might add) Well, enough of that, back to her speaking. She says "baby" very often now, especially since Mom is showing very obviously now. She'll pat mom's belly and say "Baby! bebe" Then she'll point to herself and repeat it. This morning me and my sister were looking at a magazine with pictures of dolls in it. She, (of course) said "Baby, bebe. I baby"

By this time, I am pretty sure she was two.
I was always suspicious of her diabolical plan. But, for the past few days my suspicions are being confirmed.
On Sunday she lunged for the communion plate, just to see if she had us so completely under her powers, we wouldn't do a thing. She was foiled though. Her little stunt was noticed, and was mentioned slightly in Author's post, but only I understood its true meaning.
Also, she puts us under her powers by looking completely innocent after committing a heinous act, and a lot of the time gets away with a mere warning! You can see her evil grin....It sends shivers down my spine....
She gets us to do what she wants! All she has to do is say the word "Juice" and bring us a cup and sippie lid, all nice like, and we'll give her some! She takes advantage of this and tries to drink down the whole pitcher! So you have to trick her into thinking it's all gone! But she has to see with her own eyes, the last of the juice drain into her cup in order to believe me!
But I knew what her real plan was! She wanted to try and drink ALL the juice, So that no one else would get any! So when she had her back turned, I quickly put some of the juice into a different pitcher, and when she asked for more, I emptied that one into her lil’ cup, and thus tricked her into thinking she had polished off a whole pitcher of juice.

Now I am pretty sure she was three...

Remember the sister that was planning to take over the world? Well, I think she's decided to settle for taking over the computer. She is three years old and already she delights in kicking me off so that she can play her 'ABC song' at starfall.com!
   Does something seem a little funny to you? She's 3 and she gets online! There's something not quite right about that...

At this time she definitely was three.
Yesterday, my little 3 year old sister announced that she wanted me to take her on a walk, so I told mom that I was going to take CJ for a short walk and that I should be back soon.
     Before continuing with my story, perhaps I should inform you that the stretch of road I live on is about a good mile one way, and we are right near the end of it.
So I took little CJ by the hand and we sent off down the road. She began talking up a storm right away. How she can speak clearly enough for me to understand her with that binky (pacifier) in her mouth I'll never know. She would look wayyy down to the stop sign at the far end of the street and say "We goin' all the way aren't we?" I looked down at her in surprise and asked her if she really wanted to, and she assured me that she really did, so we should!
I figured I could do that, 'cause she'd most likely get tired before we got there, right? WRONG.
We walked at a moderate pace down the road waving happily at every vehicle that came our way and before I knew it we were at the stop sign! I then started to turn around, but CJ insisted that she wasn't tired and that she wanted to keep going! So we went onto a road that was a bit busier and continued on with our walk, still waving emphatically. (The reason I agreed is 'cause there is another road that we could take to get back to our house, hence, I could trick her into thinking we were getting farther and farther way, when in reality we were getting closer. Heheh....)

And this is the most recent...

One morning, CJ came to me requesting that I play with her. Wanting to escape my terrible burden of homework for a little, I agreed. Once outside, CJ discovered something that sorrowed her greatly. A heap of dead bark lying by the trunk of our apple tree. "No!" she cried in a mournful tone, "it's not supposed to be like this!" Franticly, she attempted to reattach the bark, pressing it against the bare wood. "Why did the deers do that?" she asked me quietly. realizing that her attempt to undo the deer-inflicted damage was fruitless, she turned to the task of rescuing all the fallen apples, mumbling to herself, "I won't let them all be eatend up."

And that, in a nutshell, is my little sister. She has a lot more personality and excentric behavior that I wish I could convay to you, but I have two cookie cakes to make, a house to clean before our visitors come, and assignments to complete. So, until another day!
