A Hair-Raising Experience

Tom and Sue, our friends in Atlanta, gave Nora an elephant tent for Christmas. I set it up in the dining room today to let Nora try it out.

She loved it and climbed in before I was done setting it up. Now, I don't know if it was her pajamas rubbing against the nylon or what but it proved to be a hair-raising adventure for her

I don't think she realized just how electrifying she looked!

Self Discipline

This morning Nora was throwing toys over the gate into the hallway. I told her not to and she took it upon herself to slap her own naughty little hand. Later, while checking out at Kroger, she reached for the credit card keypad. Now, she has been told many times not to touch it and today, before I could say a word, she pulled her hand back and slapped it. I guess that naughty hand has a mind of its own and needs constant correction.

Weekend Trip

We went to Atlanta over the weekend to stay with some friends of ours. Nora had a blast playing with their two little girls, ages 4 and 2. It snowed, but she was completely unimpressed. We all had a good time.

Bless You!

This morning Nora was eating her breakfast when she started sneezing. One, two, three, four, five sneezes came out before she paused then announced "No more!"

Just Another Day

Not too much to post about. Nora is teething, again. She's not eating much because of it but it doesn't seem to be slowing her down any. "Stop" is a new favorite word, as is "Sit". She loves to say "I want --------" and fill in the blank. Since Matt's been working two jobs lately she's been saying "I want Dad." a lot. We're going to Atlanta this weekend to stay with friends, so that should be fun.

"Cheese, Mommy!"

All three of us went to the library tonight. When Nora was younger we were able to put her in the Snugli and she'd fall asleep as we searched the racks. Tonight we decided that one of us would stay in the children's section with her while the other would look for books. Then we'd switch off. Nora just about went into overload. There were books everywhere! And apparently she was determined to look at them all before we left. Unfortunately, she didn't have a systematic plan in place to accomplish this feat, so she ran from one book to another. She's open one, look at two or three pages then run to another shelf. Forget a gym membership. When I need a workout I'll just take her back to the library.
