Nora . Age Three . An Interview


I got this idea from my neighbor and had to copy it. I asked Nora a series of questions just to see what her little mind thinks about this world. I'm hoping to do this more often. Here goes:
me: What do you think Abby will be when she grows up?
nora: A nurse because we need more nurses.
me: What does love feel like?
nora: I love you mommy :)
me: When you grow up, where will you live?
nora: With Ezra, maybe in Minnesota.
me: If you could be on princess, who would it be and what magical power would she have?
nora: A fairy, and she could help people who are sick in the castle. And you would want to dance with her.
me: What do you want to be when you get big?
nora: A doctor because you have to go to school for a long time.
me: Who is your favorite grown up?
nora: Daddy
me: Who is your favorite baby?
nora: Abby
me: Do you want any more brothers or sisters?
nora: YES! (then she lifts her fingers and shows two) This number
me: What would you name your brothers or sister
nora: Shani and Don
me: How old do you think Daddy is?
nora: five
me: What is your favorite thing to do?
nora: Play with Abby
P.S. After this interview, Nora asked repetedly,"I need more brothers and sisters because I need more kids to play with because mommy and daddy are busy and don't have the time to play with me all the time."
Just for the record, I am VERY HAPPY with my two little girls....she has lots of friends and maybe I need to start scheduling more playdates.

Update


Nora and Abby have been really cracking us up lately. As you might now, we have been socked in the past 4 days with ice and snow. It was fun to play in but we had a LOT of inside time. Anyway, I was in the kitchen one time when I overheard Nora ask Abby, "Will you still love me when we're old?" I leaned in, almost waiting for Abby to give her back an answer. Too bad she can't talk! ;)
Later, Abby was whining and Nora said she thought she was hungry, so Nora looked at Abby and said, "I will just nurse you!" Like it was some epiphany! Loved it!
For a few months now, Nora has been wanting Phil and I to tell her the story of when different people were born. (mainly her, Abby, and mommy and daddy) This, we think, has lead her to ask me "How will a baby get in my tummy, mommy?" It was one of those questions when I just had to stop and really think about how I was going to deliver the answer. It must have worked though because she just shook her head in agreement and walked off. :)
Abby, has started saying all kinds of new words every day. "All done, Saturday, mine, no, yes" and a few letters which I owe to PBS Kids...anyone know "Super Why?!"
She also is doing this silly, cheesy grin which just makes me roll over in laughter. Nora thinks it's hilarious too.
