Nora: Three

At three Nora:

  • Started preschool at St. John.  She goes two mornings a week and she was so ready!  She walked in on the first day like it was no big deal! She loves it!
  • Loves to sing and dance.  Much like her big sister she is always singing and dancing around the house.  She's got some moves!
  • Takes a ballet/tap class and loves it.  She could end up being a really good dancer!
  • Is a great big sister to Ellie.  She adores Ellie and is a big helper and loves to play with her and hug and kiss on her.
  • Wants to keep up with her older siblings.  She will not be left out and wants to do everything they are.  
  • Is so funny.  She just cracks me up everyday.  She is so silly and happy and cute and fun.  Her facial expressions are hilarious and even when I'm trying to be stern with her I end up laughing.
  • Is quite the chatterbox.  She talks non-stop about anything and everything.
  • Is only napping once or twice a week.  I'm not ready to give up that time though so she still goes up to her room for quiet time everyday.
