What Cora's up to...

 This week, Cora has been sleeping in a cave/hideout made of pillows, or cushions, in Cora-speak.

The first night, she fell asleep happy in her cozy den, but woke up twice in the night crying for help because the pillows had fallen off the bed. That's not really a good reason to be woken up in the middle of the night, I explained in the morning.

Since then, she hasn't woken us up when her walls have fallen down.









Spencer is ever-so-patient with both girls...

The other day after school, Cora decided she was going to put on a puppet show in the evening. She set up the little chairs and a cushion for Violet, and moved the Cat Hotel into the playroom for a stage.

This is one great thing about Cora: she is always, always coming up with something creative to do. You very rarely hear her say, "I'm bored."

 Here's Cora's face when she realized that Spencer had come up to participate in the show.

 He served as a good puppet support when Cora was reading us a story.

And here's another example of Cora entertaining herself. She decided to create a dress for her Wendy figurine out of tissue, pretty string and tape.

She still likes making things for her fairy house in the tree out front, often saving little bits of stuff she finds when she's out and about. "Oh! This (shiny bit of broken plastic) would be a perfect window for my fairy house!"
