Payton's latest obsession is with getting the mail everyday. If anyone else tries to get it she starts screaming and has been known to throw a punch or two. Yesterday was in the upper 50's and she decided that she was going to go out and sit in the drive way (dressed in her princess outfit) and wait for the mailman to show up. She was not going to be denied her duty of getting the mail.
First she had to go and check to make sure that they mail was not already here. Every time she gets out of a car she must run and check the mailbox no matter what time or day it is. She does not yet understand that no matter how many times she checks on Sunday that there will be no mail.
Since there was no mail yet she decided to pull a chair out of the garage and park herself in the driveway until the mail was here. Luckily it only took 20 minutes or so before the mail showed up.
Once she can hear or see the mail truck she decided to go stand right next to the street to make sure they don't try and put the mail in the mailbox.
Finally the mail has arrived and the wait is over.
Nothing like the satisfaction of a job well done.
If we are ever over at your house and you have mail missing you now know who the first one to check should be.

Hopefully Payton will not take after her uncles (who will go nameless) who weren't satisfied with their own mail, but would go up and down the street taking all the neighbor's mail.
That picture is priceless -- rain boots, princess outfit and checking the mailbox. I love it. And I love her!
