Baby Jessica

Our good friends, Marcie, Andrew & Addison, stopped by to meet Coralyn on their way from Rockford back to their home in Michigan. It was a brief visit but it was great to see them. It was especially fun to interact with Addison. She will be two this month and is very chatty.

We don't have a lot of toys (actually we had none) for a two year old. That did not stop Addison from having fun. She found every single pacifier we have in the house. We were not purposely hiding them nor did we know how many we had until Addison kept finding them and bringing them to her dad to look at. Once she found a new one she would want Cora/Baby Jessica (read next paragraph for that story) to use it. In the end I think she had found 7 pacifiers. It makes me wonder why we have so many pacifiers for Coralyn. She really doesn't need that many.

During the visit, Addison kept saying "Baby .....". Not being able to decipher what she was saying I didn't think much of it. Well as the visit continued we realized she was saying Baby Jessica when referring to Coralyn. Marcie would correct her that it is Cora. Addison would say Cora but then would ask if she could put Baby Jessica in the swing. She wanted to play with Baby Jessica's toys and to hold Baby Jessica. Neither Marcie nor Andrew know of a baby Jessica which made it even stranger that Addison would continually refer to Cora as Jessica. As they left, Addison was pretty upset that she had to say good-bye to Baby Jessica.
