The Big Three

Dear Nora,
Where do I even begin?  I should probably start by stating the obvious.  How is it possible that you are already three?  Time please slow down just a little.  You were by far our easiest/smoothest delivery......that was just the calm before the storm.  Haha!  You are a little firecracker.  
We love you more than you can ever imagine.  You are full of life, sweetness and personality.  We like to say "it's Nora's world and we all just live in it".  You are hilariously funny, sweet, sassy and everything in between.  You love to be outside and ride your balance bike and your new scooter, draw with chalk, play in the sand box and just run around.  

This is you with your new scooter on your birthday

You love to play with your baby dolls and are a great doll mommy.  Your babies got a crib for your birthday and you are very excited about that.  

Peppa Pig is your favorite show and you are not afraid to call me "momma pig" sometime.  You love our new puppy and she has to put up with quite a bit from you.  You like to boss everybody around including the dog.  You and Evan are quite the pair.  You are very close and get along great.  Of course there are the occasional fights and it's mainly because you do not want to share anything.  You happen to think that everything is yours and that you are always right and that you re always the winner.  You are quite hard headed and opinionated and can throw a good tantrum. You can do everything on your own and never ever need help.  You like to say "never ever ever".
You keep saying that Hannah is your best friend.  Just this morning you said "there was a bad storm in my room last night and Hannah kept me safe"".  Hannah slept in your bed last night and you asked her to hold your hand during a thunderstorm.  You make us laugh all of the time with your facial expressions and with what you say.  
Your curly hair is super cute and a little wild and crazy, just like your personality.
You are very polite and use please and thank you all of the time.  You also like to say "Oh that is so sweet" after I do something for you for tell you that I love you.
We love you to the moon and back and you were the perfect addition to our family.  
Love, Mom, Dad, Evan and Hannah


Nora has been so excited for your birthday and we have been counting down the days.  We had her party last weekend and the Princess Party Palace and she had a blast.  She ate up all of the attention (after being shy for the first few minutes).  I bought this party at an auction (thank you Princess Party Palace for donating to the Color of Hope Gala) and it was such an easy party.  All I had to do was order pizza and bring a cake.
Dress up time
Sing along time
Evan wasn't into the princess theme and got to decorate a pirate hat
Story time
Make up time
Pretty make up on our little princess
Finally pizza and cake time
And present time....always a favorite

And then it was Coronation time......yes Nora was crowned a princess.  She even waved to the crowd afterwards.....she was a natural at it.  Haha!
One last picture with Princess Elsa

I wanted to write down a few more of her quotes that I don't want to forget.

She came downstairs the other day and said very dramatically "Oh mommy I am hungry like a wolf". Maybe she accidentally got Alexa to play some Duran Duran recently......not sure where she heard that saying.

Hannah and Evan often ask if we can give them a Math problem (Evan loves it).  So , now Nora will sit at the table and ask "Mommy give me a math problem".  Her answer is almost always 1.  

We were doing a puzzle last week and she crossed her arms and said "This is impossible".  It made me laugh.

We recently switched Evan to a Booster seat in the car and he now sits in the third row with Hannah.  Nora has been wanting to sit back there too, but we have been telling her she is not big enough.  When I picked her up from preschool on her actual birthday the first thing she said was "Can I sit in the back now, I am three".  Sorry three is still not big enough to sit in a Booster seat.
