Nice Cora, and naughty Cora

Cora has been very good through Stroller Strides lately.

It's something we moms of toddlers talk about, as sometimes the older ones no longer want to stay in the stroller while we exercise, and letting them get out to play can lead to a big fight to get back in the stroller.

So, I'm happy to report that Cora has been fine, and likes to try to do the exercises with us, in her stroller. Here, she is working on the bicep curls we do with our bands.

Next, some photos from our My Buddy and Me class Wednesday. Cora took Minnie with us; she carries her and Pooh Bear around the house, talking to them. Cora will change Minnie's diaper, and put her on the potty, talking her through the process. Then she will fly Minnie around the rooom ("Minnie's flying! Minnie has wings! Minnie is in the sky!"), or put her night night with a blanket. They are good friends.
Speaking of Cora's other best friend, she has taken to calling Somer "Summy" for short - it's adorable.

Cora was an angel through much of class, and something else for the other parts. I had to take her to the corner twice, for kicking. (Not hard enough to cause pain, but obviously we can't have our sweetie-pie kicking other moms in the class or children on the playground.)

I've spent much of this week trying to get the house back together and neat. Cora has been great around the house, playing happily with all the toys she's found again now that they've been cleaned and returned. She's also an avid color-er, and when I realize she's been quiet a while, I often find her contentedly coloring away in a coloring book. It's great!
