Nora didn’t do much actual mini-golfing, but she kept us busy chasing after golf balls and following her up and down every astroturfed contour. Thank goodness we had the place all to ourselves. Awesome activity idea, Jennilyn!

This is the event that convinced Kaeleigh that my daughter is an android. I had forgotten some of the details, but thankfully I heard Kaeleigh’s Nora impression the other day (transcribed here).
After fleeing the rained-out outdoor showing of Mamma Mia, we all ended up back at my house, where Blake was getting Nora ready for bed.
Nora: “Rain! Outside! Outside! Outside! Rain! On face! Outside! Outside! Outside!”
So, we obligingly got Nora bundled up in her rain coat and galoshes, and set her down on the sidewalk in front of the house.
Nora: “Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Inside! Inside! Inside!”

Pretty much exactly like an android.

You know what toddlers like? When you give them a whole bucket of foam stars, and then something else (say, an old printer) with a bunch of nooks and crannies in which to stick those stars.

It helps if you don’t care about ever using the printer again.

Nora’s first real haircut, at the almost-too-entertaining Cookie Cutters.

They gave me a tiny ziplock bag with a lock of her hair inside, which I thought was sort of sweet at first. Now I’m not sure what to do with it because IT IS A BAG CONTAINING HUMAN HAIR.

More pictorial evidence of Nora’s crimes against wet wipes.

It makes you feel better, doesn’t it, Dad? DOESN’T IT?

Nora discovered that her chain links are the perfect size to make bangle bracelets.
