Things, They Are A-Changin'

I don't think Cora realizes how many changes are coming her way in the next few months.  I have a mental list that I'm checking off as we go.  We're taking these big changes pretty slow, but I believe that might be more for my benefit than for hers.  On Sunday, John was watching me struggle to get Cora out of her car seat when he dropped us off at the church door.  Little Carys has a way of impairing my movement, ha ha!  Up until this point, Cora was still rear facing in her car seat in the middle of the back seat.  So, very gently, he suggested that we may want to consider going ahead and turning the car seat around.  And, very reluctantly, I agreed.  John spent the better part of 30 minutes wrestling with that beast, but he got it very securely turned forward behind the driver's seat.  When we took Cora out for her first joyride with this new perspective, she was very uncertain about this new arrangement.  I put her in the car so she could climb into her seat, but all I heard was a chorus of "No! Nokay!"  Fortunately, after letting her play in the car for a few minutes, she climbed into the seat by herself.  It may or may not have had anything to do with John putting the dvd player in front of her seat and turning on 'Clues.'  The funniest thing was that as we started driving down the road, she started yelling "Wheeeeee!" and "Ready go fast?!"  So, I guess she likes it!  And, I'll admit, it was so much easier getting her in and out of the car for grocery shopping today. I guess we'll be hitting the potty training hard and heavy next.
