Cora learned a new word this week. Wanna know what it is? Uterus. And, she has been using it ever since. In a conversation I was having with another adult (Craig), I used this word. Cora's little ears picked up on a word she doesn't often hear. Inquisitive minds wanted to know what is a uterus. So, I explained that a uterus is where a baby stays when it is in its' mommy's tummy. Fairly innocent, straight forward answer. Cora paused a moment, jumped off the chair she had been lounging on and declared, " When I grow up one day, maybe I will have a baby in my uterus."
And, so her fascination with her new word began. Soon after this little declaration, she began singing a song fashioned after one she has heard from the new Muppets Movie. The song has a line in it that goes something like this:
I've got everything that I need right in front of me....
Cora's version goes something like this:
I've got everything that I need right here in my uterus...
She has sung her version of this song for 3 days now. I am just waiting for her to tell her preschool teacher about her uterus, or her Sunday School teacher, or any random stranger at Wal-Mart.
The girl cracks us up.
