Stories

I have a ton of things to post, but I also have a ton of things to do. Real life comes first because, you know, if I don't work it makes it hard to eat.

Anyway, Norah has moved beyond sayings to short stories. We'll call them verbal essays. She expounds upon the meaning of various issues pertinent to her life. Here are a few examples:

Every time we see cyclist (which is about every other block this time of year):

"Good dob by-skipple! Mommy, I see by-skipple. Ashee ride-a-bike! See her at our house. Good dob Ashee."

This story refers to the time a few weeks ago when we saw our friend Ashley ride past our house in the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic. Read about it here.

"Mommy, train no go our house. Only Grammie's house. Our house too far way. Loud noise at Grammie's, hug hard. Cry only sometimes."

This story points out that the train goes past Grammie's house and makes a loud noise. When it comes by, she hugs Grammie hard. She used to cry, but now only does on occasion. Fortunately, the train does not pass our house close enough to be heard. It's too far away by then.

"Daddy's awesome! Mommy's awesome too!"

"Aw that's nice honey. Are you awesome?"

"No. I'n a bear. Rawwr."

Not sure she actually knows what awesome means. But it's still a good story.

And my personal favorite:

"Nemo got lost Mommy."

"Why did he get lost?"

"No listen to Daddy. Run way."

"Oh, is it important to listen to Daddy?"

"Yeah. An Mommy too."

As far as I'm concerned, Disney/Pixar hit it out of the park with that one!
