What's going on around here?

Well - too much for me to keep up with. I really wish I would take the time to be a better blogger. If I would just do a little here and there...instead of blogarrhea. (Figure it out)

Nora is 18 months now. Officially in Nursery. She wasn't too keen on it at first but seems to be doing better. I know it has a lot to do with the fact that she's never been without her parents before. Because of her health issues - allergies etc, we've never left her with babysitters. Well, that's not entirely true. Wouldn't want anyone to think that she's permanently attached and that Pat and I have never gone out without the kids...although its hard to remember when that last happened. There have been babysitters, but Grandma (Pat's mom. She lives with us) was always there, too. So she's never been left alone without a familiar adult. Anyway, she's settling in. It helps that Kyle is in there as well. But hopefully he will be leaving nursery at the beginning of the year. More about that later - during his turn. Oh how we love our little Nora Suzanne! She is getting so smart. Its fun to see her show us all that she knows. Its also fun to watch the boys interact with her. She is so silly and crazy and naughty (and she knows it!) Her most favorite thing is coloring. She squeals with delight every time likes its the first. She'll color a little and then twirl around and squeal then color some more. My favorite is when she lies on the floor on her tummy and colors, usually with her tongue sticking out in deep concentration. She loves to dance and sing and go on Lion Hunt's - if you don't know what that is...ask me. Toddler's love it. Thanks for teaching us, Grandma Suzanne! I took her shopping with me last night - just the two of us. I had the radio turned up and was spacing out (Nice, safe way to drive, I know.) Half way to Costco I turn around to see what she is doing and her whole body is bopping up and down as she's really getting into the music. So cute. Naughty, delightful Nora!





This will just have to be a Nora post...its getting too late...sigh!
