March Madness I

• "Come back here you little squirrel — I want to try to tickle you again."

• "Who knew that a basketball would make for a better flotation device than an Boeing 737 seat cushion?"
• "I've got multi-tasking down to an art at an early age — I'm bathing, I'm practicing my dribbling and I'm reviewing my alphabet all at the same time!"

• "When I grow up, I wanna be a Muppet — so I'm just practicing right now."
• "When I said I liked the Muppets, my parents showered me with Muppet toys. Next, I'm gonna tell them I like money — I'm hoping to be bathing in small bills this time tomorrow!"

• "I proclaim that all the territory I can see from this lofty peak will from this time henceforth be known as 'Carterlandia.' "

• "Yeah, take a picture of this, Mom and save it for about 14-15 years, because you'll never see me waking up in bed with this big of a smile when I'm a teenager."
• "The levels of happiness — 1. Sleeping in a big bed . . . 2. Sleeping in late in a big bed . . . 3. Sleeping in late in a big bed with a warm blanket . . . 4. Sleeping in late in a big bed with a warm blanket and hiding a bag of cookies so your parents won't see them."
