I love you, too

Two cute, Daddy-related Norah-isms:

Norah and I were riding in the car and singing "The Wheels on the Bus." Sometimes, when we run out of verses that we know, we make up new ones. We had just finished the verse about the mommies on the bus, when Norah added, "The daddies on the bus say 'I love you, too." Very sweet.

Later that day we were in the pool. While Dan was inside getting changed, I pointed out a spider to Norah. She yelled out, "Dan, come and get the spider!" Hmm, I think she might have heard me say that a time or two...

Sick Day

Norah was home sick for a couple days. Don't worry. It was nothing too bad, just a low fever and some sniffles. It did mean that she couldn't go to school though. This mean that Kristin and I had to alternate half-days taking care of her. I think it's pretty obvious from this video how bad she was feeling.

Poor little girl...

We had to find creative ways to keep her amused. Luckily, couch cushions are very versatile. I never hope for Norah to be sick, but we did make the best of the time off.

Fort Living Room

Amen!

Norah hamming it up at the ballgame

Every night when we say our prayers before dinner, Norah adds her short prayer at the end. She started our by saying, "Thank-you Jesus..." and then choosing her favorite food on her plate that night. Sometimes she had to pause a minute to look things over to see if she could find anything she was thankful to be eating. She slowly started adding items, and now says thank-you for everything on her plate, plus the plate itself, the placemat, napkin, fork, and cup. Tonight it was "Thank-you Jesus for my hamburger and my corn and my topatoes and my ketchup and my plate and my fork and my placemat and my napkin and my milk. Amen!" Dan and I think it's very cute, and a lot of times we have to try very hard not to giggle at her very serious prayers. We definitely have a lot to be thankful for.
