On a typical day, Care gives us our wake up call sometime between 6:00 and 6:30 a.m. On the rare morning she is trying to prove her unyielding love for her parents, she'll give us a glorious 7:00 a.m.
This morning I heard movement over the monitor at 5:22, kid talking to herself, and doing what I call her "leg thwapping", a move that involves her quickly raising both legs and slamming them down as hard as she can over and over again. You can hear this from the floor below, it's that forceful.
Taking into account all 3 items: the early rise, the animated self-talk, the restless, geeked-out energy pouring from her limbs, it could only mean one thing-
I think she knew the Royal Wedding was happening.
So fine....fine. It's not the everyday occurrence and perhaps she was dying to see what the House of A. McQueen put togther for her gown.
I interviewed my little Anglophile between the service and first kiss, and after all that excitement, it seems to me (and correct me if you disagree) she seems a little "meh" about the ceremony and downright dissapointed with the dress (hey, don't look at me- I thought it was lovely and agree, a nice throwback to Princess Grace's gown).
Please excuse interviewee's hair, it's looking a little poindexter-ish due to some bananas she decided to use as hair product.
Love it. I interviewed Alice about the same, and played it cool. She had little to say about the dress, but to be fair, she has very little to say about anything at this point.

They saying "if you can't saying anything nice...", right?
For that, I am glad I didn't have the camera on her for the 1st kiss. She just rolled her eyes and was all, "what, no tongue?"
Ah, kids...

Kate's dress gets 1 raspberry from this fashion critic, eh?
I thought it was lovely, myself--
a huge improvement over the poofy figure-swallowing meringue her erstwhile mother-in-law favored...
P.S.-- Jess, I miss your blog!
