Ryan, Janelle, Kayson & Cora: Cora May

Sunday, November 8, 2015

I wanted to do a quick update on Miss Thing. Oh Cora - she's still a challenge, and still has a very demanding personality... but a heart of gold.

I can say she's 90% potty trained. She's doing really well at school - really only one accident that I can think of, over the past 5 weeks-ish. She's doing much better at home as well... and in public. We now do underwear when we go out - church, errands, supper, etc. So far so good.
With the potty training - whenever we are out to eat - the girl HAS to potty, no matter what. The other night she needed to go 3 (THREE) times within an hour. Grrr... BUT - we can't tell her no, cuz we don't want an accident! I'll be glad when we are over that stage!
She continues to hate it when it's Ryan's turn to read at night time. However, once she's in there, she's perfectly fine. It's a show. I also find it sweet as ever when I hear her say, "Good night Daddy, I love you. See you in the morning."
She wants to be just like Kayson - tells us a lot that she'll be old like Kayson soon and do all the things he does.
She now loves Dora. We have found that she will sit through Dora cartoons! YEA!!! I can typically get something done for 20 minutes!
She's funny - and still talks all the time.

Talks all the time in the car - has a huge imagination. She'll tell us about school friends, or friends of Kayson's (like she really knows them).
She showed us the other night how to get food out of her teeth with her tongue. Yes. Ryan asked where she learned that. "I just knew it Dad." Really?!
She continues to pick at Kayson. Anything that Ryan or I say - she immediately repeats it... usually telling or asking Kayson something. She's a copy cat!
BOSSY. Oh my goodness - she tells us all what to do all the time. I appreciate a fiesty, know-what-she-wants type of girl... but not at 3. She's not the boss.
