Nora Bean
At last a warm day. Not that that is lasted. Today is ~40 but Saturday, it was almost 70. We enjoyed two consecutive trips to the park on Friday and Saturday. The kids tore it up. Slides, swings, running, jumping, you name it. Nora is so much bigger and seeing her on the "big blue slide" this year makes her look enormous to me. By fall of last year she was climbing this slide by herself but still making me nervous. She is up and down now before I can catch her. 
Who new that it could be so hard on the kid that is the healthiest? Knock on wood but this little girl has been the healthiest of the bunch. She had this last illness but not nearly the fever that Gavin had or as long. She bounced back with no other symptoms. Awesome, right...except an attitude!?! She is suffering from what I think I'll call attention-deprivation. Between the boys' birthdays, illness in Feb. (including hers) and doctors appointments as of late, Nora has been tagging along. Couple that with the fact that Miss. Nora Bean is a sleepy head and not a morning person. I have learned to deal with that (opposite of Mama). We know how it fits into our routine. [Routine: 6:50 am open Nora's door; 7:00 Speak to her for the first time; 7:10 ask her to get up; 7:15 carry her to the bathroom, etc.] Oh, did you remember the time change this weekend? She ate breakfast at school all week because we could barely get her moving for school, get her dressed and out the door. Well, Nora has only today (day 5) begun to accept her new schedule. She was at least human this morning. So, we are all trying to find a new normal, progress.
