My Sassy Princess

How is it my precious, innocent little princess has turned into my sassy, talk backer! She was once my little girl, who would come and sit on my lap and watch cartoons with me. They say 2's are terrible and 3's are horrible, so I call 7 the sassy years. I cannot wait till when she turns 8, because I am dying to know what stage this brings. Here is an example of her new found sassiness:

Eric and I have been trying to get Angela to be more accountable for own things and chores (I know I know we should have done this sooner). Well my little girl can leave a nice long trail of dirty clothes. You would swear it was the yellow brick road that led to the Emerald City. Picking up her room, toys, and clothes is on her list of chores. Last Thursday night I let her know that she needed to pick up her dirty clothes and wet towel from her shower. She asked if I would pick up her towel. I told her she was now in charge of picking up her dirty clothes and towels, and also that it is hard for me to bend over. She went and picked up her towel, turned around, looked me in the eyes and told me that I was just being lazy!! Woah Woah Woah... LAZY!!! I cannot believe my little princess... the apple of my eye hasn't gotten to this stage! I thought I had until she got into the teen years. This isn't supposed to happen yet! I am ready to lock her up and sheild her from the world! Just looking at her picture makes it hard to believe that my little angel could actually tell her mommy that!
