back to school and gift

Ryan's back to school, not that he was out of school for very long.  I'm not sure if we're just used to him being gone so much or if he does have a tad more free time, but it's been a nice 3 week start to the new school year.

Cora gave us a nice back to school gift.  She's potty trained.  I'm thrilled!  I think we hit the exact perfect timing for her readiness because it wasn't like running a potty training bootcamp, it was more like a natural milestone in her progression.  

Here she is in her potty glory and on one of our accident-free (and pantless) outings.  

whoop-dee-doo cora's two

we had a pre-birthday party in philly before we left out of town.  i made her a tres leches cake.  she had a blast playing duck duck goose and dancing to yo gabba gabba with some friends.  

we were staying at liesl's on her actual birthday and she threw a surprise birthday lunch for cora.  ever since cora spontaneously says,"SURPRISE."  I think she has good memories from that event.

i'm sure cora felt super special on both days.  i think she is super special.  i love this age.

like mama like daughter
