Yipee!! Nora is Three!!

Nora turned three on Monday!  It was a celebration extravaganza!  She started the party on Friday by taking cookies to class.  She got a fun birthday hat.  On Sunday, she finally got her Chuck E Chesse's party that she has been talking about since Clara  had her fifth birthday party there.  She was joined by her friends with playing, pizza and a Mickey and Minnie mouse cake.  Then on Monday, she woke and opened presents from us and then off to gymnastics.  That evening, Daddy brought her flowers home (Clara, Lila and I also got flowers) and then we headed to Red Robin to celebrate with the family!  What a great birthday!
At three, Nora is 25 lbs and full of fun!  She says some funny little things like "that's strange"  or "yesssss" when she is happy about something.  She is learning to write her name and had the N and O and is just about there with the R and A.  However, the O is not an O, but rather "circle"  She loves her sisters.  When we get Clara from the bus, she races to the door so she can greet her with a hug.  She loves princesses and Micky Mouse and friends.  She loves the color blue and her light up shoes.  Her favorite animal is the monkey.  At night time, I go in and we do a nose kiss, which then leads to a cheek kiss, an arm kiss, an elbow kiss, a toe kiss, and so on.  She can also get as mad as a hornet and put out some serious temper tantrums.   Brian and I are taking a Love and Logic class.  I think we should bring video.  It is hardley even believable.  I have just no idea where she gets that from...ha ha.  Overall, we feel blessed to have this little energetic, funny, smart and loving (and leg kicking, screaming, head spinning) girl in our lives!!
