Misc This Week

As a child we used to always play with the empty wrapping paper tubes and say 'to-do-to' in it. I have Cora doing this now. I always give her the tube and she does it. She was doing it to Daddy and having a ball.

We put a bird feeder out the kitchen window. I told Cora that when she sits in her chair she will be able to see the birds. She gets very excited when the birds come out. Well the feeder was emptying very quickly after it was filled and a lot was in the pot below it. We thought it was a squirrel, but we hadn't seen it on the feeder yet. Sunday morning I caught him in the act. Little stinker.

We had our first 'I do it' moment on Saturday. She was insistent on putting her shoe on. She couldn't get it by herself so she got a little frustrated. I waited patiently for her to ask for help and she finally did after a few minutes.

She didn't actually say 'I do it', but she was saying 'mine' and jerking the shoe away from me.

She is starting to ask for certain foods. Last night she asked for yogurt.

She is also getting a lot clingier to her lovies and blanket. Plus she has become attached to a stuffed bunny she got for Easter from a friend of ours. She has meltdowns in the mornings to take her lovies/blankie to school. Sometimes we can get her to leave them at home and sometimes not. She has so many, too!

'Purple' is a small taggie blanket with her name on it. This is the favorite and I have no duplicates of course. I need to order a duplicate just so I can wash it - it gets stinky!

'Bear' is one of two pink lovies with a bear head in the middle of a small silky blanket. I have duplicates of one of these and of course the favored of the two is an only one. She also has a couple cream colored ones that I bought to switch in and out in case we lost one, but she doesn't request them as much as the pink ones).

'Pink' or 'Blankie' is her pink blanket (she hasn't figured out that there are two of them and I switch them out to keep them clean.)

'Bunny' is a stuffed brown and white bunny that she got for Easter and loves it.

It is funny when she is need of all of them...she can barely hold them all! If you can get them away from her in the mornings she doesn't think about them again until bedtime, so it isn't too bad yet...

If she sees them, then she wants it. She is an 'out of sight, out of mind' kid...which is very good for us!
