Stolen from Mel's Facebook

I know some of you have probably seen this, but Mel posted this on Facebook yesterday. I laugh every time I read it. This girl is just so awesome...

A little exerpt from today's journal:
So Marley falls a sleep in a very interesting way. I always know when she's ready to dose off because she assumes her "position". While laying on her belly, with one hand on another, tucked under her right thigh, under her N.A.P. blanket, she gentle rocks herself to sleep.
Jenn was in town this last weekend. To finish off the trip we all headed up to Lake Tahoe for the day. We got home around 5:00 and all the kids were exhausted. In the midst of unpacking the van from the day's activities and coordinating the kid's showers and dinner time, I noticed Marley was rocking away on the couch about to crash. So I said "Marley, Marley, wake up!" She perked up a bit and looked at me and noticably concerned said "Mom ... does Heavenly Father and Jesus live up there?" while pointing to the ceiling. "Yes," I replied. "Oh no! I'm not gonna shake my bum at them anymore." And with that she rolled over and resumed her routine on her back. With both hands on top of her right thigh, rocking away, she said "Now I'm gonna shake my bum at Satan."
I tried not to laugh out loud at her sweet and innocent concern, but assured her that I'm sure Heavenly Father and Jesus are more concerned that she slept comfortably and I know they wouldn't be upset about how she was shaking her bum as she fell asleep. That night she slept on her belly.
