We were just watching Word Girl (great show) and I asked Coco what her favorite word was. She said, “mom, cause I like my mom.”

These are the Heavy Topics We’re Discussing Lately
Coco (read with a very enthusiastic tone): “I can’t wait to be a grown up. [pause] Can you not wait to die?”
I Did It!
My work is finished. My last meeting with my supervisor happened today. In a few weeks I’ll receive a Master of Arts in Teaching degree at my graduation. I can hardly believe it.
Delight
Tonight Coco bit me with her two new shiny top teeth (the teeth I’ve been attempting to photograph for several days). I said loudly, “ouch.” At first she looked a bit surprised, but only for a moment. Then, she laughed. What was unique about this is that Coco is not a laugher. It’s actually a rarity. And though it happened once before, she does not, as a rule, laugh when she’s misbehaved.
When she does laugh, I keep doing whatever it was that made her start in the first place because her laughter is delightful. There we were, me laughing at her laughing at me. To keep it going I tickled her neck with my fingertips. The way she raised her shoulders as I tickled made me laugh harder which in turn made her laugh even harder.
After several minutes of this hilarity, we grew tired of laughing and stopped. Until she bit me again.
