Nora Evelyn

I think this is a first here on rubberducky.org; a completely second-hand Nora anecdote. Jen and I went to a grown-ups dinner with the maternal family last Saturday so Nora spent the evening hanging at Granny’s house (Granny is currently pronounced [wIni] like Mr. The Pooh). It’s impossible to determine which one of them had more fun. Nora was certainly the more crazy-happy of the two when we came back to get her, but what Granny’s joy lacked for early intensity it has more than made up in longevity.

At some point during the evening’s festivities, my sister Colleen stopped by to play and relates the following story. They were sitting on the floor in Granny’s sewing room (what, you don’t have a sewing room?) sorting spools of thread on a large spool rack thing and Nora was counting them. Nora counted out 10 of them and Colleen said, “Nora, you’re only two years old. You’re not supposed to be able to count this high”. Nora paused, looked up into her eyes, and said, “eleven”.

That’s my girl! The following picture is unrelated but I love it.
