Funny Cosette Moments

Cosette asked Jeff if today was a Fast Sunday or a "slow Sunday." As Jeff was explaining what a Fast Sunday is, Cosette told him that she thought it meant you had to get to church quickly.

When Cosette says the prayer, she'll say the word grateful over and over and over. Also, instead of just saying "bless the food," she'll repeat the phrase for each person at the table.

Below is a picture showing Cosette sleeping on the stairs. We have a similar picture of Jeff doing this when he was little. She definitely gets it from her daddy, because (to my knowledge) I never did this.

We've been having some trouble with Cosette getting up in the middle of the night, so I started using a technique I read about in a parenting magazine. It's called "Filling the Corners," and each night after we turn off the light we take a minute to pretend to fill the corners of her room with happy things like balloons, stuffed animals, or trampolines. We take turns picking what goes in different corners, and Cosette likes to choose to fill her room with more furniture, like beds and dressers. Hey, whatever makes her happy.

We have a decorative dry pond of rocks next to the bridge in our backyard, and Cosette loves to pretend there are fish in it. She'll hold out a stick over the edge of the bridge and "go fishing," or she'll feed the fish with leaves or flowers.

Cosette climbed up inside one of the cubbies surrounding the washer and dryer in the playroom.

And to end, here are a few Cosette quotes:
My socks are all crunched up.
Mom, you have corn teeth.
