lighter than air

February 6th, 2009 by clunis

Nora, Jen and I went out to dinner this evening at the Cottage Inn pizza place near campus. Toward the end of the meal Billy, the absolutely fantastic general manager, brought Nora a helium balloon and I can’t believe I got caught without a camera. This was not her first run-in with balloons, but she was an erupting volcano of joy. She giggled, squealed, bounced, punched the balloon, bit the balloon, made her voice reverberate in the balloon, peaked at us through the yellow, played peak-a-boo, and generally was beside herself with glee.

She was still at it 45 minutes later when we got home (despite being 30 minutes after her normal bedtime) and I got a few not very good photos.

    [...] the onesie moved once again to Ellie. Ellie wore it for her time and passed it on to us. Nora has worn it a lot (even to meet the stanley cup). Soon, though, she too will outgrow this onesie and it will [...]
