I thought I would post a few funny things that Cosette is doing these days.
We've been working on having Cosette use a "big girl cup" lately. Today at dinner she was enjoying the fact that she can put things inside of an open cup. She dipped her fork in and out of her water and told us that she was baptizing it. So cute! She also tried to eat the water off of the fork, which of course didn't work very well. And when she was done eating, she put the remainder of her dinner inside of her cup and proceeded to push it around the table like a car, talking about going for a ride and making "beep, beep" noises.
Whenever we sit down to say a prayer, Jeff and I look at each other and take a moment to figure out whose turn it is. We then announce "It's Mommy's turn" or "It's Daddy's turn," and nine times out of ten Cosette announces that it's the opposite person's turn to say the prayer. She never seems to get tired of it. At first she was pretty sincere and would get upset when we wouldn't follow her directions, but now I think she does it just to be silly.
When we're in the car, Cosette gets very impatient when we have to stop for traffic, and she likes to tell us to "Go, go, go!" in a very impatient manner. Now that she's in a front facing car seat, I'm trying to teach her about traffic lights, but she still thinks she's the boss and that we should go when she wants us to go.
Cosette is currently obsessed with wearing the t-shirt she got two years ago at our Bond family reunion. She calls it "big shirt" and has worn it almost every day and night for the past month or two. (You can see a picture of her wearing it two posts ago, when she's laying in the hammock.) Fortunately, her cousin Darren was kind enough to give us his shirt as well, so she can now wear one while the other is being washed. It's a struggle every Sunday to convince her that she cannot wear big shirt to church. I'm sure that she'll grow out of this phase eventually, but it may not happen until she grows out of the shirt. I took her to the store the other day and let her pick out a new Hello Kitty shirt, hoping to entice her to wear something else, but it didn't work. She likes to carry the other shirt around and treats it like a toy, but she doesn't want to wear it. She is so silly! I sure love my little girl.

Haha about the shirt. Edison had a hooded sweatshirt that he wore almost every day for a long time, even when it was 80 degrees outside. And if Grant wears a T-shirt to bed, which we have sometimes mentioned could be worn as a daytime or nighttime shirt, in the morning he will point to it and say "Poof! It's a day shirt!" and insist on wearing it during the day and then again the next night. Eventually we get it off him, but kids can be so funny. :)
