Delaney, 4 (via her mom): Lamby, her blanket.

Does Delaney like your accessories? "Yes, she likes my 'cloppy shoes' [heels] and earrings. She says, 'Will you save that for me when I'm a grown-up?'"

But for now, Lamby is number one? "It's been in every Christmas card."

How does she choose her skirts? "If it doesn't spin she'll throw a petticoat underneath. I call it the spin factor."

Is that red and blue nail polish? Where's the white? "I just sucked it off," says Delaney (she speaks!).
