Just have to take a moment to tell you a little bit about my day yesterday. I apologize if I spell the names wrong.

I awake yesterday morning to a young child's voice, in the kitchen behind my wall. I was confused. I heard the cutest little voice with the cutest little southern drawl saying :

"Uncle Jack! What are you doin?"

BJ's dad replied graciously, "Why, I'm makin' me some coffee."

"Uncle Jack! You always makin' coffee!"

I giggled to myself, as I got out of bed, went to the bathroom, followed by my usual routine of convincing Cody to jump up on BJ's stomach. I asked BJ who was here, and he said "My cousin Rhonda, and her daughter Cheyenne." We went out to say hello, and I saw one of the CUTEST little girls I have ever seen in my entire life. Golden curls, and incredibly long eyelashes. I was told she had just turned three in November.

The morning went on, and suddenly I found myself babysitting the brilliant child. She was the smartest thing I had ever seen/heard. Suddenly, she declared "I have to go poo-poo!" So, I escorted the little beauty to the bathroom. BJ made sure I didn't mind. I reminded him that I had done it a million times.

On the way there, Cheyenne grabbed a teddy bear. She dropped her pants once we reached the bathroom, and placed the bear gently on the floor beside the toilet. She hoisted herself up, and began the painful pushing. I sat on the edge of the tub to offer soothing comfort. Her pushing wasn't working. In near panic, she looked up at me and BJ and cried out "Can ya'll get some more teddy bears?" I couldn't help but laugh.

After pushing and pushing, she finally succeeded. She wrinkled her nose, and in the cutest, littlest voice ever, she whispered "Can ya'll smell it?" I laughed harder...BJ excused himself. She kept sniffing the air.

I can smell it. It smells. Yes. I can." After she wiped herself clean and jumped off the potty, she flushed the toilet, and waved goodbye sadly to her little poo-poo. "You're gone now." She sighed. "You were a nice one."

The little sweetheart offered endless entertainment for the rest of the day. She even performed her own personal rendition of "Shake Your Groove Thang" complete with an accidental strip-tease. I'm telling you...she's one of a kind. Barely three years old. Kelly would be madly in love with her.

Well that's all for now! Talk to you later!
