Cora just naturally possesses a very tender heart. She very rarely says anything ugly or mean-spirited. And, to my best recollection, anything untoward she has said has never been directed at any person or thing. She has an innate ability to be genuinely happy for another person's good fortune and achievements. And, she is very quick with offering praise. Believe me when I say I am not mentioning this to brag about my superior parenting. Far from it actually. She most certainly did not get this tenderness from her mommy. I pray often that I don't do anything that would ruin this trait in her. All that being said, witness a conversation that took place as we were looking at pictures of our family the other day.
Me: (to John) You look really good in this picture!
Cora: (turns to John) Dada, you look good! (turns to me) Mommy, you're wearing a blue shirt.
le sigh
At least she is honest.
