Nora is turning 3 soon

WOW... I started this post back in February and never finished it. Now that Nora is 3, I will just post it as it is........

How is it possible that Nora will be 3 years old in 1 month? I feel like my mom when I use this phrase "where did the time go?" It bring tears to my eyes that we are so blessed with such a healthy (knock on wood), happy, beautiful, funny, smart, goofy, loving, caring, silly, witty and the list could go on little girl....

Each day Nora surprises us with a new "thing." Whether knowing the words to a song, using phrases we do, telling us stories that are either fiction or non fiction, playing mommy, pretending she is a doctor, reenacting real life situations.... It is incredible. She talks all of the time. She has a huge vocabulary and has for several months. We are often asked by strangers if she is 4....

A few highlights of the past few months and prior:




  • She can dress herself

  • She is fully potty trained (since about September) with the exception of night time

  • She has an opinion about clothes.. She will say "OMG, I love that outfit." She also will not wear certain things....

  • She LOVES tank tops

  • She still is a dancing machine

  • She adores Dora

In December Nora was diagnosed with her first ear infection since she had her tubes put in last February. We are blessed that it took that long for one to come on... Bad thing is that the infection would not go away. Her ear canal was inflamed and bloody. Her tube had moved and was sitting on her ear drum. On Wednesday we brought her back to the ENT for the 4th time since the infection came on and he removed the tube. The thing was nasty..... She screamed and cried while he removed it but right afterwards she was golden. She didn't complain or anything. She is such a trooper.
