Does this look like an innocent face? It's not. Cara is growing
fast, forever mischievous. She delights in taking something of Anna's,
knowing that it will upset her, and run away with it. It used to be
Anna's kitty - now it's anything Anna might be playing with - maybe one
piece of her puzzle she's working on, one of the crayons Anna's playing
with, one of the necklaces Anna's wearing, etc. She also copies every
little thing Anna does, whether it's sitting on the potty, getting a
"pee-pee-pee" (meaning pee-pee-pill, meaning a piece of Pez candy)
whenever Anna gets her vitamin, or "repeating" every story Anna tells
us.
She has also gotten into the habit of wanting whatever anyone else is
eating, much to Beth's chagrin. Cara is still a very good eater, and
most of the time eats her own dinner. Only then she'll want a bite of
whatever you have, no matter what it is, or how much she's already
eaten. And it inevitably turns out that she ends up eating half of your
meal, along with her own. Too bad Anna didn't inherit any of Cara's
appetite. Oh, she also likes to use her hands instead of her fork,
especially with things like pasta and mashed potatoes, which she'll
squish in her hands like lotion. She also loves butter - wants it on
everything. Sometimes when you ask her what she wants for dinner,
she'll say, "Butter!"
She's also recently discovered the little cat door that leads down
into the basement. She treats it like it's her own personal toy
dispenser, of sorts, like a laundry chute. She'll take a toy, open the
cat door, and toss the toy through the door, letting it fall all the way
to the bottom of the basement stairs. She'll also empty a basket of
toys onto the floor, simply to empty the basket of toys.
She loves the Little Golden Books, and she can very quickly empty
them from the bookcase onto the floor as she looks at them. One of
those books is a counting book, where for #10, it says "Ten little
monsters make a mess." I say that should have been written "One little
monster makes a mess."
