A Day in the Life of Cori

This is a typical day for Cori:

6:30 am Rise and shine with a smile on her little pumpkin face (Mommy not so smiley)
6:45 am Breakfast of Cheerios and some sort of fruit with a big glass of milk (Mommy still not so smiley)
7:10 am Cori watches the Disney Channel and pulls out half of her toys (Mommy thanks God for the Disney Channel)
8:30 am Cori reminds Mommy that it has been a couple hours since breakfast and a snack would really hit the spot about now (Mommy is on her second cup of coffee and looking for the IV hookup since it is really faster than drinking the coffee)
9:00 am Cori brings Mommy the Where's Spot book to be read for the 18th time (Mommy is finally able to focus on the words)
10:00 am Cori's fussing reminds Mommy that We have both been up since 6:30 and it is probably a good time for us Both to take a nap!
11:30 am Cori is awake with a smile again (This time Mommy is smiling too :) )
11:45 am LUNCH!!
12:30 pm Cori builds towers with her blocks and knocks them everywhere and then wants Mommy to pick them up..... hmmmmm, this doesn't seem quite fair now does it??
1:30 pm Cori finds the place where Mommy hid the Where's Spot book and asks that it be read AGAIN (Mommy reads the book while thinking of a better hiding place
2:00 pm Cori lets mommy now that a graham cracker would be much appreciated, along with a cup of water
2:01 pm hanford and Shelby scour the living room rug for graham cracker crumbs (Mommy thanks God for dogs as they make running the vacuum cleaner unnecessary)
3:30 pm Cori twirls in circles making herself dizzy (This is Mommy's cue that it is time for another nap!)
5:00 pm Cori is awake with yet another smile on her face. What a happy baby!
5:01 pm Max and Ruby!!!!
5:30 pm Dinner
6:00 pm Chants of "Daddy, where are you" begin from Cori (Mommy starts to wonder when Daddy will be home so she can start dinner)
7:00 pm Daddy is home and now Mommy no longer exists..... I think Cori may be a Daddy's Girl (But then again, so was Mommy)
7:10 Daddy and Cori play "Chase me" Daddy is helping wear out Cori for bed time (YAY Daddy)
9:00 pm Lights are low, TV is soft, Mommy rocks baby Cori to sleep while singing to her softly. Cori rubs Mommy's arm, and then drifts off to sleep with only the sound of a happy baby sucking on her pacifier.

Yes, THIS is why i quit my job and stay at home. It really doesn't get any better.

Are you sure you don't spend all day at my house? Except Myah will only watch Animal Planet and Spongebob.

Ain't that the way it goes? Daddy this, Daddy that as soon as he walks in; what about the mom, kids!?? Just wait, though.... Gwen went thru the stage where only Daddy could change her and only Daddy could brush her teeth for her, and only Daddy could read the bedtime story and tuck her in.... so there are some perks! Unfortunately, this only lasts a few weeks then it's back to the same ol' same ol'.
