It is finally happening...

I was told that it (parenting) would get easier as they gain independence, so far I have thought that was a bunch of hooey but I am starting to see it. Cora spends most of her awake time in a really good mood; talking gibberish to her toys and bringing me little bits of things that should be vacuumed up. She is a wild child for sure and HATES being forced to do anything like holding still for diaper changes or getting her nails clipped or having to give us the remote control. Spirited, that's what we are calling her. Spirited and sweet.

She also turned out to be a snuggler which was unexpected but very welcome. She loves to cuddle. Now we just need to work on the whole independent sleeping thing without doing "Cry-it-out" (I am way too much of a weenie for that business). Hopefully the transition to her Big Girl Bed will help. Who knows? Right now co-sleeping isn't really that much of an issue because a) I like to cuddle her and b) we are getting more sleep this way (all of us). Slow and steady right?
