It's hard to capture in a post...

But, Charlotte is hilarious!  And I don't mean, oh that's so funny and cute the things she does...  the girl cracks jokes, has a very dry sense of humor, completely placates her father and mother, doesn't miss a beat with the sarcasm and mastered rolling her eyes before she was two - insert punchline, and roll the eyes.  Yep, she does it regularly. 

I often find it very difficult to discipline her when she's "funny".  I quote, b/c "funny" sometimes entails a little backtalking (oh, age 3 is so fun!), so naturally that does get disciplined, but her humor is really difficult to curb.  And I don't know that I really want to curb it!!  It's so her and a very large part of her personality - which is large to begin with!  She does dig the slapstick humor that she engages in with her Daddy, but Brian and I crack up more at her dry humor and sarcasm. 

It's no secret that the Dean's are hilarious (sorry guys - Kim is the funniest!), so naturally she inherits this from her Daddy and his side of the family!  However, Mom doesn't think she's too shabby herself!  :)  I laugh at myself anyway :)

I couldn't even begin to try to describe a few of the instances - I can't even begin to immitate her correctly.  It just doesn't do her actions justice.  But, just know that when you see her, she's probably rolling her eyes at some point; imitating you; placating you through sarcasm; giving you a look; saying "Are you kidding me?" while waiving her hands; will look at you and say "What's the problem?" and will probably at one point think to herself "these kids..." while shaking her head - the girl is always one step ahead of us and we have a very tough time keeping up!!
So, it's not you....  it's all of us collectively!!  She's a force to be reckoned with.

**Yes, this post comes off of a few instances last night, when Brian and I were clearly in the wrong. :)  LOL!!  A fresh memory!
