County Fair and "Treeeaaaaaashure"





I took Cori to the Miami County fair yesterday and she had a great time! Kerry went with her kids Erin and Molly and both of them were a big help entertaining Cori!

In the sheep barn, Cori just kept saying "Baaaaa baaaaaa" over and over again as she walked down the isles and pet the sheep. It was pretty darn cute! At the cow barn, i parked Cori's stroller right next to a very large cow. I asked Cori, "what does a cow say?" and she of course answered "Moo". Next thing i know the cow is mooing at Cori and she claps her hands and says Yaaaaay!! It's the little things that make her happy!

There was a petting zoo at the fair and Cori had a blast feeding the baby goats and the baby cow and the sheep. She also like the baby kangaroo and the camel. However, while she was flattening out her hand to feed the baby cow some pellets (just like her mommy showed her) this grey African goose came over and attacked her hand! Mommy wanted to drop kick the goose back to Africa! Cori cried and cried and she has a little bruise on her finger. However, you can't keep this kid down for long. Shortly thereafter she wanted to feed the cow again, but when she saw the goose coming she said "NO" and backed away. Catches on quickly doesn't she?

Today we were watching some sort of Dora show and Dora and Boots were looking for lost treasure. After Dora said "treasure" about 500 times, Cori looked at me and said "Treeeeaaaaaashure" i am not sure she knows what a treasure is, but she can say it. She also can now say "elephant" which i think is pretty cool. Although, she is conviced that the elephant and the giraffe on her pop up toy are one and the same. She calls them both "elephant". I guess we need Dora to do a giraffe episode so we can learn to say giraffe as well.

All is super here in the Haines house and Cori and i are having fun being silly, learning new words and trying new foods. It would seem that chick peas are better tasting than i thought.

Jenni here...Holy moley! She's just like her dad! Have you heard of Adam's fear of waterfowl and poultry? Well you have now. You should ask him to elaborate, unless of course he's now in therapy after his young daughter was attacked by his scary nemesis! He may not be willing to talk about it.
