Three is the New Two

Nora turned THREE...and now we cannot use the excuse for her colorful behavior by saying, "She's two, you know how two-year-olds act!" So, now I have decided that 3 is the new 2. Nora has had a hard time adjusting to our move. She is a routine girl, and she didn't have a routine for about two months. Just now, she is starting to become our Nora again. But, I have to say, there were moments that I was looking on line for pre-school boarding schools. Here are some things that Nora has said in the past few months:
"Look at these beautiful fingers God gave me!"
"I sure have a lot of princesses in my life."
"Nobody in this family cares about me."
"You are all exhausting me."
"We need to say our prayers."
"Mom, I need some new friends."
"Can I go to bed now, I am so very anxious."
"Mom, I love you more than chocolate, and that sure is a lot of love!"
One of my favorite parts of the day is when Nora wakes up, usually around 7:30 a.m., and gets dressed. Every day, she comes downstairs fully clothed. Usually, she is wearing green and yellow pants with a turned inside out and backwards hot pink shirt, but she is dressed! She always says, "It's a bright and sunny day, what are we doing?"

Olivia makes some colorful statements, but Nora's outdo hers! She's a little smartie pants! I love it! And, I'm sure she grabbed or combined some of those phrases from mom and dad - which means you guys have great patience and show a lot of love!
