Any mother will tell you that you never wake a sleeping baby. For Angela Kinsey, this lesson came a little too late.

One afternoon, while The Office actress was home with her 15-month-old, Isabel Ruby, she decided to give her daughter a wakeup call.

"I was like, 'You know what? She's taking a late afternoon nap, she's not going to fall asleep 'til late, I'm going to pick her up and rock her to see if she'll wake up,' " Angela told People Magazine. "Mistake! My mom was right."

Isabel's tears were hard to quell, but Angela swears by a few must-have mommy items that are helpful during tantrums. Among them are the Boppy, Cheerios and a furry red companion named Elmo.

"She said 'Elmo' this morning for the very first time," the beaming mother reported, "She pointed to the TV and said 'Elmo' and I was like 'You are a genius! You will cure cancer!'"

Wow. Moms really are our biggest fans, aren't they?
