It's A Small World

Since we'll soon be without Internet for at least a day or so, and busy packing and moving, here's a video to keep you loyal readers entertained.

Cora's other favorite song (besides the beloved "Elmo's Song") is Old MacDonald Had a Farm. She's been good at saying E-I-E-I-O (or a pretty decent facsimile) for a while, and over the last few days has become able to sing the animal noises in the appropriate spot ("With a ... moo moo here" - etc.) She also likes to pick which animal we sing about next.
She has started to say her own name, but without the hard "c" sound (still can't make that sound). Her name, according to her, is "Doo-uh." I love it!
I decided that Cora really ought to be playing with her dolls now. So I got out the two dolls Nan and Pop got her, and her blanket and pillow, and suggested she put the dollies to bed. She picked up the concept right away, and had a lot of fun. Stace helped her get in "bed" with the doll.
She later decided the doll needed to go potty. Cora's other favorite toys lately have been the Fisher Price animal train Nanny got her for Christmas last year, and Auntie Melly's old cell phone, which she gifted to Cora. Cora loves pushing the buttons and making all sorts of noises with her "real" phone. She says she's calling Uncle Dean.As for our move, we got the keys and closed the deal Monday and have been moving boxes over since then. The garage is already half-full of boxes and stuff. On Wednesday after work we'll rent the moving truck again, and do the big move on Thursday. Stace has a four-day weekend for Thanksgiving, so we'll take advantage of that to be moved and settled by Friday afternoon. We'll do our family meal over the weekend. Exciting times!
