Shoes

Whenever it gets a little too quiet in our house and we wonder where Nora is, the first place we now check is the bucket of shoes near the door (the bathroom is SO 2009 :)) She is just obsessed with shoes- specifically taking them off and attempting to put them back on again (and of course tasting them).

Tonight we took a family trip to the park and she hid out in the tunnel taking her shoes off as often as Daddy would put them back on. Eventually, she lost the privilege of playing in the tube anymore. :) I can't put shoes on her feet in the car, and even at day care now she is the only child in her room who does not wear shoes except when outside!

I will take this opportunity to document some of the funny things the kids are saying. Here are some Carolyn quotes.

-Mommy, my "nickel" hurts! [she has a "skebeeto bite" on her chest and thinks it is a "nickel." :)

-Carolyn, where did your angry heart go? "Jesus took my angry heart away!

Nora's vocab seems to be hitting that "explosion" stage- she seems to pick up a new (understandable word) nearly every day. She probably has about 30 intelligible words now. Some of my favorites are "buh-boo" (bubble), "Nowah" (Nora), "Coh-ren" (Carolyn), BOH! (bow, also book), and BAAAAAH! (bath).

Sure is fun raising these little sweeties. :)
