Thoroughly Modern Nora

I know that Nora has gotten way more blogtime than the other children. But she probably is the most interesting of all of them. Part of that is because she is older. But part of it is because she's Nora, and if you didn't know, that says a lot.
She loves finding and using new words. Today, in the back of the car, she practiced various ways to use the word "refuse": 'she refused to go to bed!'. You get the idea.

Some of her top lines as of late:

Nora: Mom, you're a woman.
Me: Yes, I'm a woman and you're a girl.
Nora: And Dad is Harry Potter!

Nora: Watch out for the frogs! They speak Spanish!

Me: Why is that chair knocked over?
Nora: Oh, that's because I did that! (I was a monster when I did that.)

Nora, quoting herself: 'I need my sticker and my treat!' she scolded.

She's creative with dolls and containers, as has been demonstrated in other posts...
Tonight she had a minor potty training incident in bed and I found her cleaning up after herself with a pile of wipes. Love that girl.
She's emotionally complicated, but very, very sweet....
DANGEROUS with scissors...(or glue, or markers, or crayons, or chapstick, or lotion, or desitin, or sweetened condensed milk...)

And always good for a story. I forget what this one was about, but as you can tell, it was very dramatic and sometimes funny...





That's our Nora. Very pink. Very imaginitive. And let it be known, we totally love her. Today and always.
