Last night, Landon got home a bit early from class. He was just-in-time to take over the book reading routine before lights-out. I overheard him reading. The Little Engine that Could.
Landon: "But that was not all. The little train carried good things to eat, too. Big round oranges... fat, red apples... long, yellow bananas... fresh, cold milk... and lollipops to eat after dinner". Cora, lollipops aren't really very good for you. (he continued to read).
Cora: (after a long pause) Lollipops ARE good!
Landon: Lollipops are BAD!
From there, there was a long routine.
Cora: Lollipops are good (uncontrollable giggles).
Landon: Lollipops are bad! (continuing to read).
Cora: Lollipops are good (uncontrollable giggles).
Landon: Lollipops are bad! (continued to read).
Every time Cora would say it, Landon would give her underarms a tickle.
This morning for going potty, Cora got to choose a treat from the "pink pumpkin patch" (which is what Cora calls the pink jack-o-lantern on top of the fridge that STILL contains hall-o-ween candy). She found the very last lollipop, popped it in her mouth, declaring, "Lollipops ARE good, right mommy?"
