Salome’s 2nd birthday party
Friday afternoon Nora, Jen and I attended the amazing 2nd birthday party of Nora’s age appropriate potential friend and fellow linguistics department baby, Salome. There had to be a dozen kids there and I’d be amazed if any of them was older than 5 –delightful chaos. There was pizza, cake, balloons (Nora was overjoyed), a rocket car, a tent, another tent, a rain storm, a bubble machine and another cake. Despite arriving rather late to the festivities, Nora had a ball. Actually, she got two (a bouncy ball with a spider in it and a hacky-sack soccer ball in a lovely gift bag). Many thanks to Salome, Anna and Raomir for inviting us to your excellent party.
Ridiculously, no one on the rubberducky.org editorial staff remembered to bring a camera so here’s a staged reenactment of Nora the next day wearing her new favorite hat back at rubberducky headquarters.

You hit it on the nose–twelve kids under five. Have to take advantage while they still bring their parents with them. :) Unf. we don’t seem to have caught Nora in any photos, either!
Dora is like baby crack, isn’t she?

she’s never even seen the cartoon but she already seems to respond enthusiastically to images of Dora; it’s weird.
