These installments from the (not-actually-daily) Daily Nora were so cute I had to save them here as well.

I don’t remember why Nora is giving me the stink-eye here, but I have a feeling I wouldn’t tell her the answers to her game. “But MO-OM!”

Five headbands around her waist and one on her head. I like this kid.

Any time Nora sees a pine cone on the ground, she picks it up and brings it home for me as a present. I’m not about to discourage this, because it’s adorable–but do you know any good pine cone crafts or anything? We’re getting quite a pile.

Nora’s been taking swimming lessons at Westminster. She loves everything about it…except she refuses to put her face in the water. This may have an impact on her future swimming career.

Plus, bonus mom-points for putting her in the correct swimsuit, am I right?

I thought this was fancy, but that was before I became the valedictorian of fancy spiral hair-dos.
