In other, not so surprising toddler news Cora has really taken a fancy to stripping as a form of protest.
Me: Cora, I asked you not to do that, you need to go to time out.
Cora: Fine. I am going to take off all of my clothes!

Me: Cora, I need you to finish your dinner before we can go out.
Cora: Fine, I am going to take off all of my clothes!

Me: Cora, I need you to give me some space so I can feed Samuel.
Cora: Well I am taking off all of my clothes then!

You get the idea. Sometimes I can distract her, with additional conversation, even as she is tugging at her sleeve to begin the process, but often times I just end up with a naked girl for a variety of time, depending on what is going on. I am trying not to make a big deal about it, but it is an interesting form of protest. Quite amusing too, though I have to laugh my own time, since I am hoping not to see this one pop up at nursery or mommy and me!

Wow.
Hopefully with winter coming on that'll slow down a bit. Otherwise I suggest you have her outside on a cold day and have her try her follow through! Have fun with that one!
Haha! Oh man, this is such a fun age. They really come up with the best stuff. I look forward to this next year of Cora adventures ;)
Hehe.. I love that stripping is her form of protest. Suppossedly I would just do that at her age every time we went in a store (I just had to try on the new clothes!).
