When Rose makes a mistake, her routine is to say (when she truly feels remorse), “I am so so sorry!  I pinky pinky promise!”

A story by Anna Kate: The fake money we gave to the robbers didn’t ding, and they said to each other, ‘That money didn’t ding, did it? That money is fake!!! There is no ding to that money!’’”

Mommy asked Rose to give her a kiss and she said, “No, I can’t.  My muscles are too busy talking!”

• Mommy: Why do you call Noelle, Noella?
• Rose: Because I love Noella, see?
• Mommy: Did you know that she’s your sister?
• Rose: Of course!!!  Yes! your majesty!  Am I funny?

Rose: You’re a great Mommy, don’t you think you are!?!

Rose playing dress-up with Anna Kate: Introducing, the Queen, my sister!!!

Rose and I went shopping. I tried on a long maxi dress and she said, “Mom, you look so beautiful! Are you married?”

Rose was observing raindrops rolling down the window one day from inside of the car. She pressed the drops with her pointer finger on the glass of the window and said, “Tickle, tickle!” “Mommy, I tickled the raindrops!”

Rose kissed Mommy over and over again at bedtime tonight. When she finished she said, “Whew! There were a lot of hearts in there!”

Instead of “Yes, ma’am!” Rose always says, “Yes, man!”  It’s so cute to hear “Yes Man…” when she’s in trouble.

Every time a car/truck drives by us that is pumping their bass, Rose points out the window of our car and says in a high pitched voice, “Party car!!!”  Every.time.

• Noelle (to Anna Kate): You tried to pick up Hudson way too much!
• Anna Kate: No, I didn’t.
• Noelle: Says the girl who did!
