Yes, Alex wakes really grumpy, especially from her naps. I just sit and cuddle her if I can, and we put the telly on to take her mind off it. Sometimes, I can't even sit down, I have to walk around with her (bad back) and she sometimes wants to just sit and if I put my arm around her, she pushes it away. Nothing seems to help, drink, snack, cuddles, urgh, miserable old grump! I must admit that I just thought that she was following my side of the family, we are all really grumpy in the mornings. And look out if she is woken out of her sleep, she is grumpy for ages then.
