The quirky thoughts and sayings of my newly three-year-old!
My middle child, my sweet Quinn, is a total spitfire. Wth a vivacious personality and smarts beyond her years, she keeps us on our toes and in laughter every single day. To know Quinn is to be totally smitten with her. She knows what she wants and she is determined to have it her way. We affectionately refer to her as our sour patch kid. Feisty and strong-willed one moment, she quickly becomes sweet and cuddly with sugars to freely give the next moment. She is quite literally a bundle of sugar and spice!
Over the years, I've documented my favorite Greer-isms, and now the time has come to share my favorite Quinn-isms. Today is her third birthday - Happy Birthday my darling girl!! And it is such a fitting time to share a little snippet of my our Quinny Cat.
She is quite articulate, and has always had a lot to say. Her quirky little sayings and catch-phrases keep us in laughter. It's hard not to crack a smile around her, and her cherub little face gets us every single time. Just when you think she's said it all, she surprises us again with her wit and humor. We couldn't love her more!
