"I'm going to start being nicer to earn back my trust with Santa."
Charlotte, 6

"Fat pencils"

"I wish we could reset this day and do it all again." 12-8-20 (6th birthday!)

"They had a shooty thing and they shooted it into my body."

PTSD a year after her flu shot

Charlotte: {in reference to holding her poop at school until she got home} "if you want to be me one day, it is not easy!"

You got your ears pierced today! You were so brave!

"Earrings is a hard life when you first get them. You can't lay on the pokey things. And that's a bummer."

In your prayer this weekend, you included: "I'm thank you that we're not hopeless." And I almost lost it. Truth and faith beyond your years. We adore you, Charlotte! 💕

ps- you always start out, "I'm thank you for..." and I'm never going to fix it.

"I don't Seale. I don't cheat. I don't lie. Most of the time. And I'm always humble and kind."

"Mommy, can we repaint my nails? Today I picked my nose to eat my boogers and some of it came off."

You were a prayer helper in chapel today at St. John's, and your precious little voice said, "Thank you for my mommy and my daddy." Love you so, sweet Charlotte. ❤️

Charlotte, you need to be sure to listen to your teachers because you can be a little rambunctious.

Charlotte: I don't control that, God does.

"Mommy, can you get the bacon out of my leaves?"

We're in the Florida Keys...feeding the iguanas off our back porch Cheetos and they 🧡 Cheetos. We decided we should name the main one (because it wouldn't go away!) and I said, "I feel like its name is obvious {meaning Cheeto}."

And you run to the side of the porch and say, "Obvious! Come here!"

Char just got a bunny gummy stuck up her nose. And then she wanted to eat it when it came out. 🐰👃🏻🤮🙅🏼‍♀️

"Is it bad to eat your boogers after you brush your teeth?"

At least you're concerned about dental hygiene.

Yesterday we're talking about why you spit on Callen and I'm like, "Charlotte, what about the hearts on your hands? Did they not help remind you to be nice?" And you say, "Mom, I didn't see my hands because I didn't use them to spit on him. I used my mouth."

Oi vey. 🤦🏼‍♀️

"Who are those naked people?"
Me: 😳
She turns out to be "reading" a Bible...Adam & Eve

Me: Charlotte, what are you going to be when you grow up?

Charlotte: I'm not going to grow up.

Me: Ok. You're just going to stay a little girl?

Charlotte: Yes, I just want to stay a little girl. (pause) I don't want to grow up because I'm afraid it's going to hurt to pop out a baby.

Me: "I heard you got to say your favorite thing at school and you picked a microphone."

Charlotte: "Yeah, I probably should have said baby Jesus but I really like microphones." 🤷🏼‍♀️😂😇
