Nora Evelyn

We had an amazingly fun day today just Nora and me. The morning started with a visit to the Masing’s house where Nora patted their kitty cat, Scooter, and met with the chickens again. Hans & Tricia sent us home with 9 amazingly fresh eggs and a trunk full of goodies. Then we went, as previously reported, to Granny’s for a dance lesson. The studio is near IKEA and we need some more smocks so we stopped by there, sat on all of the kiddie chairs, failed to find smocks, and ended up eating lunch in the cafeteria (Nora was totally fine this time, no freak out). Then we failed to have dinner with the Masings but ended up having a lovely dinner at a coney island where Nora was much-adored by the wait staff and neighboring customers.

After dinner I was walking into the grocery store with Nora in my arms and she leaned back, looked up into my face, and said “I love you. I love you, daddy” and hugged me.

Only it’s “uff”. “I uff you. I uff you, daddy!”.

*sniff* Hard to grocery shop with tears welling up in your eyes.

p.s. during bedtime reading Nora pointed at a picture of one of the blue IKEA chairs in one of her books and said “IKEA!”. It’s possible we shop there too much.
