Out of her mouth...

come a great many things that make me smile. Like the way she says shoits (shorts), oaknilt (oatmeal), Rice Krismies. Other things that come out of her mouth give me pause, like the time she defiantly told me to, "Shut up." But moments later I could hardly contain the giggles when she folded her arms across her chest and proclaimed, "I'm bean-hayve." (I'm behaving.) Then there are the things she says that have me laughing long after she's said them. Words and phrases that just have to be shared, for instance - the other day she dressed herself and knowing that I would tell her that it was rainy out and she would need tights on she informed me, "That's ok, I have legs on under my skirt." And my personal favorite occurred during a recent diaper change when I commented on her little buns she retorted, "Not little buns, I have big, giant buns!"
