I've had a love/dislike relationship with every age Nory's been through so far. We're in the thick of the days where NOT throwing a rock means watching Nory roll it, then slide it, then do whatever else to it that she can defend as "not throwing". It's the stage where NOT splashing water on sister means dripping water as close as possible to sister's toes, and then her arms, and then her ears and then delivering the line, "I'm NOT splashing her!" as she looks at us with a smirk. 'Tis the season of boundary pushing, the one where we learn the true, limitless, ever-changing potential of our dear friends, Exhaustion and Frustration.
Thankfully, as with all ages and stages, the LOVE part conquers all and keeps us moving forward on the daily. THREE is the period of conversation and curiosity and TELL ME MORE MOM AND DAD. Nory is our little chatter box and she's using all sorts of new words to express her thoughts. Her current rotation of new vocabulary terms include budge, strange, actually, horrible, and magnificent. And then there are the sentences she forms.....out of the blue....that make us LAUGH UNTIL OUR STOMACHS HURT....
Some of the funniest things she's said lately:
While she was relaxing in the bath: "So, Mom. Are you excited to be having another baby?" (BTW, NOT PREGNANT!)
While laying in bed: "Mom, when I came out of your tummy, did you ask the doctor if you could take me home in a jiffy?"
After getting in trouble: "Well, are you going to put me in jail now?"
After Daddy made up a princess named Sindora: "Really, Dad? Who says that?"
When I thought she was sleeping and she exclaimed out of nowhere: "MOM! Why do people have eyebrows?!"
Oh, Age Three. Just when we think we've figured you out, you'll likely change on us again. Alas, as long as you keep the GOOD coming with the CHALLENGING, we'll make out just fine :)
P.S. Fairy Tea, you guys! FAIRY TEA! One decaf tea bag in a wee bit of hot water (briefly steeped!), with lots of 2% milk and a spoonful of sugar. We start this GLUE thing from an early age around here ;)
