The past week there have been some funny moments at our household. Nora is growing into a little person right before our eyes. A few nights ago, Patrick and I were sitting in the living room with Stuart and Nora was toddling around the house being "busy"...moving things from here to there, reading, etc... Nora walked in the room proudly with a small cup of water and stood at the coffee table as she sipped on it.
I looked up at Patrick and said, "did you give that to her?".
He said, "No, I thought you gave it to her?"
I said, "Maybe we should check by the toilet to see if there are water drippings on the floor".
Sure enough, there were. We believe that Nora sees the dog drinking from the toilet and she must think its ok to do! We kindly told her that its not good to drink the toilet water.
A few nights ago it was a balmy 45 degrees and Patrick was going to work on the garden so Nora came with to play in the driveway/garden. Boy did she ever have fun in the dirt! She is hooked on mud puddles. A few times she came close to laying down in the mud puddle-she LOVED splashing in them, throwing rocks and watching the dogs. She is an ourdoors girl at heart! Patrick loves it. Actually, both of us love having a daughter who loves to play in dirt and splash in mud puddles. ( The bottom photo was taken before she went inside for a bath!)
At meals, Patrick and I believe it is important for us to sit together at the table. Occasionally Patrick or I will serve her food, get her seated then walk around the kitchen doing other things, or Patrick may be on the computer for a few more minutes. As of late, Nora, calls our attention and points to the empty chairs next to her. She has our number! She reminds us to come sit next to her at the table. Good for her. She keeps us focused on our goal of eating together as a family. (Zoya)
