I'm beginning to think this is going to have to become a weekly installment. Girl makes us laugh so hard every day. She's like a miniature grown up. And I love the honesty in everything she says. It's usually so funny, but also so sweet.

Put your belt seat on Mommy!

{when waking up and finding that Daddy hadn't yet

left to take his early morning pictures in the Great Smokies}
