Pia

"The kitties are nervous about me because I am a lion."

After getting her shirt and leggings on: "I am all set!" Her mother points out that she still needs to put her dress on. "Oh, then I'm not all set. I'll never be all set."

Favorite exclamation in just about every circumstance: "Oh, for Pete's sake!"

Mara: "I am snuggling down into the warm blanket of bubbles."
